Hi. I yelled at my kids today, told them they were spoiled brats and made me feel like a ****** mom. BOY OH BOY. And I'm 41, a teacher (who is always patient and calm with the students for some reason!!!!). I don't get it. How many times do I have to come back and tell myself I won't lose my temper again with my girls. I feel so bad.
I think being a mother means you will loose your temper from time to time, as long as it isn't all the time and you don't hurt them, I wouldn't beat yourself up too much for this. Hugs!
No mother has never yelled! The important thing I think is to apologize and repair.
Thank you. No, I don't hurt them, but I do feel like yelling hurts them emotionally. And it is from time to time, probably a blow up once every couple of months. I did apologize and said I'd really work on not yelling because it's no good. They were wonderful and forgiving, such great kids. It's hard. I'm a single mom and I have two children and a VERY full time job. It just is a lot for me and I guess I shut down and then lose it.
