When you yell so loud that your throat hurts...

The constant bickering. The constant snatching. The constant whining. The constant pooing in his pants.....

I just snapped.

I screamed so loud at them that my throat now hurts.

Today is going to be a bad day

i had one of them the other day!

hopefully as the day gets on it gets better or fingers crossed they dont work out that your throats sore, seems my kids are good at playing up when i cant speak!

Oh you poor thing. Some days everything goes wrong. Everyone has those days.

Just think to yourself, if he poo's his pants today, I will say nothing, I will just stay calm and change him. Sometimes it is easier to emotionally cut yourself off for the day, just so you don't find yourself getting angry, which in the end only really punishes ourselves.....you know tthat mother guilt that hits at night, when they are all tucked up sleeping soundly in bed?

My eldest two have been bickering non stop lately and it has been driving me mental, I have told them that the next time they fight, they will be banned from playing with each other all day. It really does your head in.

He has already pooed them. It put me in a foul mood to begin with. Then the fighting tipped me over the edge.

I know what you mean by the mother guilt at the end of the day

Mate you know I've been there... one too many times

Just stick the telly on for the kids and sit down with a cuppa.. take a breather....

Can you get out today, anyone you can visit?

I hate when I am in the frame of mind you are in. You feel really consumed by anger, and I know that when I am like that, I am actually contributing to the craziness of the house, which makes me even more mad.........

I had a bad day a couple of days ago, I just got out of the house, took the kids to Macca's for lunch and went to see my sister, it was enough to get my mind in a better state, which in turn did help the kids with their behaviour.

BTW, I am not saying you are the cause, just that when the kids have feral days, it is really hard as a mother to get your patience back and try to start fresh again.

I know exactly what you mean!

A cuppa tea sounds nice...

I had one of those days the day before yesterday! Just some days.............if only I could disappear.

We all have them and that SUX

HATE HATE HATE THEM

We all have days like this, well I do anyway, especially when my other half does nothing to help (yelling at the kids from the couch isn't helping me).

Lots of

for you.
