Honest question

Every single time yes

I get you’re upset but why do you have to be so LOUDLY upset 😭

It’s so much easier to be empathetic when my eardrums aren’t being assaulted

My daughter has had one tantrum and I threw myself on the floor crying louder, harder, and moving like a leach on the lake. She never threw one again😂 the whining does get to me and I just can’t

In my head I roll my eyes and I think “this is payback”….so I just roll with it. That being said, I’m only at the start of tantrums so I’m sure it’ll change 😁

Yes every single time!

Depending on my mood, when am overstimulated or got to much going. But when my mind is clear and calm I just feel greatfull.

All the time 😅 I get really overstimulated really easy (thanks ADHD!). I've worked really hard not to project and keep calm but on the inside I'm shouting "omg shut up!"
I promise every parent thinks this way, they probably just don't admit it haha

I had both of mine screaming at me the other week and I just went ahhhhhhhhhhh aswell both looked at me like I’d finally lost the plot and started laughing 🥴 now I tend to sit down, close my eyes and count, again look at me like wtf but I prefer them to be confused than shouting because they wanted a different colour bowl.

I don’t but I think I’m an outlier. It’s tough to be patient with them, especially when it’s obvious to us that it’s not a big deal (whatever it is they’re throwing the tantrum about). I try to practice patience and empathy.

Bottom line: it’s TOUGH. As long as you’re not shouting at them, you can think whatever you like. Whatever helps you get through the moment, you know?
