I Feel Like The Worst Mother In The World

Motherhood isn’t always sunshine and happy days. Sometimes you just get overwhelmed and frustrated.

I’m sure you are all wondering why I would feel like a bad mother. Well, I yelled at my son. I know what you’re thinking. It okay, it happens, that’s part of life, and part of being a parent. Even though I may already know that, it doesn’t make me feel any less like a bad parent.

Yelling at him was bad, but when he said “mommy’s mean. I’m going to go hide.” it broke my heart.

I don’t want to be a mean mom or a bad mom. I don’t want my child to run away scared. I don’t want him to do what I tell him because he is afraid of getting yelled at. I want to shower him with love, stay calm and cool no matter what he does. I know a lot of people are laughing at that calm and cool thing right now.

Being a parent is stressful and frustrating. Sometimes I just get overwhelmed, but this is the first time I have yelled at him.

Most days he is pretty well behaved, but for reasons unknown, today he was just wild. That’s the only way I can describe it. He refused to sit still to eat breakfast. Wanted soup instead of Pizza for lunch. (even though just 10 minutes earlier he begged for pizza.)
