Lost it..

My 3 year old shouted at me today.. so I shouted back, and I mean really shouted. She cried for about 4/5 mins before I went and hugged her. And now I feel horrendous!!! She has been so whingy recently and everything is a no, or pushing boundaries. I just snapped. Not really looking for comments.. just needed a safe space to vent!!!

Honestly you can see it was a mistake, you feel bad. You are a good mum who's just had a moment of being so overstimulated you've shouted. Its not nice, but its understandable. Apologise to her and explain what happened. Have a hug and tell her you love her and move on x

Well done on making it this long without yelling!

If you ever meet a mother that hasn’t yelled at some point in her mothering journey I’d applaud you and her!
We are only human and being overstimulated is hard especially when we are at our limits. As long as you apologise, explain and hug it out and like the previous comment, move on don’t linger on guilt! You’re doing a great job!

I feel bad when I lose my cool too. But showing her that we can get mad at each other and then apologise and make amends is actually teaching her so much about secure loving relationships!

shower infront of children

Is it weird to shower infront of your children, or your children see you naked?
At what age should this stop?

I’m just looking at what everyone’s thoughts are as I have a 7 month old and at the moment it’s hard for me to shower without him getting upset.

We contact nap atm, otherwise I'd shower when he sleeps!

It’s easier to bring his play mat into the bathroom whilst I shower so i can at least wash, else i have to wait for my husband to arrive home at 5/6pm.

Keen to see what people's opinions are and how other people do this!

GIRL DADS TAKING DAUGHTER TO BATHROOM IN PUBLIC

If a girl dad needs to take his daughter to the bathroom in public and there are no family bathrooms … I swear video online of a dad saying he uses the women’s bathroom but always knocks and announces ‘girl dad helping my daughter go to the bathroom’ and I love that idea and mens rooms are disgusting but wanted to see everyone’s thoughts

Ebf bottle refusal

I want to introduce a bottle so my partner and mum can feed baby every so often but she hates it! Have tried breast milk and formula and am using mam bottles. She also isn’t a fan of dummies. Goal is to give her formula as I hate pumping!

First time using Milton cold water sterliser…

When the 15 mins is up do you just take them out and put them straight back together?
I know it says you can leave them in the solution until use but I don’t want to do that as I have 8 bottles to sterilise and can only fit some at a time.
I have mam bottles but my microwave isn’t tall enough to fit the bigger ones in it to sterilise them🤣 didn’t have this issue with my son as previous microwave was taller🤣
