Do you ever have those days where all you feel like you do is yell? At everyone? For everything?
Your house is a mess and you can’t catch up.
You’re exhausted and insecure and dirty.
You call your husband at work no less than twelve times to ask him if you are a horrible mother.
They always need, and there just doesn’t seem to be enough minutes in an hour to accommodate the need, because there is just so much stuff.
You yell, and they cover their faces and cry. And, then you cry. Because, look what you’ve done.
But, they forgive you and snuggle you and tell you they love you, and you melt because you totally don’t deserve them.
Do you ever have those days?
All. The. Time.
Oh, you mean last sunday, Mother’s Day? Yeah. I think we all have those days.
Hang in there, babe. *HUGS*
All of the freaking time.
Not yet. *looks at swelling belly* But I’m starting to suspect I will.
Most days…:/
Yes, I have totally had those days, far too often. You are not alone and it will get better. *hugs*
All the time…
I am having one right now.
Too many times!
I cried at my desk last week. It was one of those days. I think you knew it was one of those days because I also think I cried when you called me. And I am not much of crier (is that how you spell that?).
Who doesn’t? Because that person isn’t real.
Yep. Except I excessively text my husband because he doesn’t answer his cell phone.
There are people who have days NOT like that?
never
Today in fact except I’m single and have no contact with their dad so I have no one to phone and ask if I’m a good mum :(
They have meds for that, you know. :)
PS – I can share mine if you need some!
YES. Usually it involves pouring excessively large glasses of wine later in the evening.
daily
Today in fact.
All the time. Tomorrow is a new day and will get better.
Embarrassingly often. Thankfully kids are the most forgiving (or forgetful) people on the planet. An “I’m sorry for yelling” and a hug and all’s forgiven. Adults (me) could take a lesson from them on forgiveness.
Almost every fricking day.
uuummmm yes, that was my day yesterday…..
OMG, really?! All the friggin’ time!! You are not alone!
Every day while I’m at work I tell myself that I will be a better mom but the minute I get home, I spiral down to the same person I was the day before. And yet, each night as I’m struggling to get my daughter to fall asleep, she’ll tell me, “…but Mommy, I soo love you!”
Motherhood is phenominally wonderful despite the craziness it brings to mother and child!
Today is one of those days. I am thinking about stepping out side in the rain storm just so I can fit in a “shower” because it is so stinking hot here!
All the time, and I only have one kid so I feel like I really suck at it.
Hell Yes! I had one a few days ago. My kids are 17 & 20, therefore they did not put their face in their hands and cry. But… this night their bf & gf and a few other friends were over. For, guess what? Supper. I cant feed myself, how in the hell am I feeding all these bithches??? lol
So. Stress factor was high, no body helping, all sitting on their ass having fun, laughing and talking loud. So, I finished what turned out to be crap for supper, said the F word ALOT, grabbed another beer and headed for the porch swing. Then I felt like shit cause I’m, well, a shitty mother. And guess what, again? IT WAS MOTHER’S DAY!!! Double poop on me!
So, in short, I feel ya!
hehe awesome!! lol My kids are closer to this age and I had a day similar to yours Sat. lmao I felt pretty crappy ever since…til I read this…then I just found it amusing.
Today. And yesterday. And the day before.
Um….where do you think the nick names Grump-opotamus (or G-pod for short) or RAAAAA Monster came from…..that’s what my hubby and son call me….
May 2011 is going down as one of those days around here.
All the time. Except I think I’m a horrible person since
I don’t have a husband or kids so I call my mom
To make sure I’m not the worst person in the face of the earth
Yes I have those days…and thank god that I am not the only one… Misery loves company. So we are not alone at least. I just wish the suck ass days had a fast forward button or better yet rewind so I could do it over and make it right….or better. Or how bout a warning like when you wake up there is a flashing sign that says…start medicating right now or today will suck.
Only on days that end in Y.
Christ you guys, I feel so much better. For us all. It’s like we’re in a club or something.
A club that needs to have monthly or weekly meetings in a BAR!
lol
I second that motion!
I have those days all too often. I hope your day gets better. {{hugs}}
Thank you for posting that. I seriously have been feeling like for the past WEEK. I think we all need drinks. Yes. Drinks.
Thank you.
Did that this morning.
Like, RIGHT NOW, as my toddler just refused his afternoon nap, AND he’s cutting his fourth molar on top of the first three and it’s gonna be a FREAKING AWFUL afternoon until Daddy gets home to take over.
Yes! Thank God I’m not the only one!!! Been better lately at staying calm, I worry that if I don’t it’ll just add to their inevitable resentment of me when they’re teenagers which will be in like, a blink. Okay, rambling now. :)
I could’ve written the above post.
And also we’re waiting on the government to send through my husband’s unemployment benefits (for almost 3 months now) so in order to shut my brain off and not spend ALL night worrying I have to turn the TV on.
All the time! You are not alone…and it’s nice to know that I’m not either.
Let’s put it this way….reading this made me cry!
Mostly on days that end in “y.”
Now that my youngest is 7 I have them much less frequently than when my 16 year old was little. I don’t know if it’s me mellowing or them, but I suspect it’s a combo deal. Or maybe it’s just that the younger kids didn’t scale walls spidey style or hide in my clothes closet to light matches…. Anyways, fear not, this too shall pass.
Today is that day for me…woke up and found out I missed talking to my boyfriend (kinda) who is in Kuwait. Went in the kitchen and found out no one saved me any pizza (from 6 hours ago) and that someone had smoked all but 5 of my cigarettes :( Stupid stuff that still made me cry. Everyone has those days…especially women. You are totally not alone
Pretty much every day.
Yep. Today. Mostly everyday lately. I’m very ready for a mood swing to push me AWAY from the edge. Tears and yelling and tears and fighting and tears :(
Every day is like that in our house =( combo of husband that works too many hours and being pregnant with a crazy ass two year old. Most days I feel like the worst mother on Earth and wonder how my kid and husband can stand me. I even make the dog nervous now.
At some point everyday for the last 18 and half years….
