Advice

I am a primary caregiver to my two boys under two. It can be extremely frustrating when you’re alone with your kids majority of your time. When I get frustrated and overwhelmed and yell at them (mainly my two year old) I sit him down and I apologize to him and tell him I’m sorry mommy yelled at your for xyz I’m feeling (insert feeling) and I will try harder to control my (feeling) and ask him for forgiveness because just cause they’re kids doesn’t mean you don’t have to apologize to them because they’re people too. Idk if that will help but usually it makes me feel better and I have a good cry and then we will have a cuddle time and watch a show or something, or we hug it out. But it’s hard being burnt out is a hard feeling. ❤️ hope this helps.

Thank you so much it does help

Hey I understand how you feel. I've done that a handful of times and i cried and felt super guilty every single time afterwards. I know my son is nearly 1 and doesn't really understand what's going on other than mummy is screaming at me, I hope he doesn't think I'm a terrible mother and can forgive me for yelling 🥺🥺😭. You are doing an amazing job, I promise

I’ve never yelled at my baby because I simply walk away. When im so overwhelmed that im scared I’ll react negatively, i take a couple minutes to gather myself in a separate room, sometimes right in front of my door outside just to feel the breeze. I get incredibly anxious hearing my baby cry so im not long at all, maybe 1-2 minutes max but it’s so helpful.

You are not alone I’ve been there myself :/ but I reflect and try to do better next time
