Hi Girls,
I am currently nearly 34 weeks pregnant with my second baby.
My little girl, who is 2 and 5 months, is usually very well behaved and adorable. She has been ill with a virus for the last couple of days so has been quite grumpy (as expected)...
Every night for the past week, I have had a nightmare trying to get her to go to bed. She screams and shouts etc
I lost it tonight - my temper that is. I just felt like screaming "when can i have MY time?". I picked her up off the floor and took her up the stairs (under my arm). I put her into her bed and burst into hysterical tears. She was uncontrollable and so was I at this point so I left the room. She followed me and I shouted at her again "get into bed!!!".
I now feel SO bad for shouting at her like that - she is asleep now with a red puffy face. She looked so frightened when I shouted at her. I don't normally do that to her but I had just had enough. My DH stayed out of the way but said that I needed to be firm with her because enough is enough of the performance every bed time.
Do other people lose it like this?
