ugh...

I feel like I"ve been a terrible mom this afternoon.  I'm in charge of dessert for this bridal shower tomorrow.  Was counting on Adrian napping so I could finish it.  He wasn't interested in napping.  Or playing or reading or going outside.  He usually loves to be worn and is happy to do anything I do.  And he usually loves playtime.  Not today.  He was interested in flailing, whining, pinching and grabbing anything in sight...in particular my glasses.  I got frustrated and popped him down and let him scream while I calmly frosted the cake.  Makes me feel like a terrible mother...thankfully he's a good forgiver and got snuggles and is happily playing with the dog right now.

  • If I had a nickel for every time I ignored DD's screaming for a few minutes, I'd be a very rich woman.

  • I have ignored screaming many times, sometimes things just have to get done!

    This! Plus, usually after a couple of minutes she stops and I've quickly finished what I need to do and then we both happily go on to the next activity. She gets over it quicker than I do :)

  • I think a lot of us know exactly the feeling!

  • I spend a fair amount of time "ignoring" screaming these days.  Anything that keeps you sane keeps you from being a bad mom.
