sounds like my day!
You're very hard on yourself. I say these things every.single.day. And I've only got one...
No seems to be my most used word at the moment
That sounds like most of my days!! It's hard you feel like you're constantly telling them off and it's a wonder they end up getting tantrumy on you! I think your plan for tomorrow is a good one, hope it goes well. It'll get easier when baby stops feeding and you can spend time together doing things!
Don't be too hard on yourself, we all have days where we seem to be the 'evil mummy' to our toddlers. When I'm going through a stage of having to tell Ben off all the time I try (emphasis on try) to instead keep telling him when he is being good (oh you're being so good standing still near Mummy in the line while we wait, that's it good boy you're playing so nicely with your toys etc....).
It seems to work and at least banishes some Mummy guilt for a few days. xx
hope tomorrows plan works. Dont be too hard on yourself. Im sure its all forgotten come bedtime.
Ummm...sounds like me on a good day!!! x
Yup - that sounds just like me too. Don't worry - you are just being a good mummy and it does get better when they are a little older!! If you get a chance to read my blog, you will see that I'm still saying no to unsuitable clothes being worn by my 10 year old daughter though...... good luck!
Hope that you had a better few days. There is an award for you over at my blog.
Thank you all. Even just truthfully writing this made me feel better, and things are improving!
Good luck with that! Hope you have a better day tomorrow...
