[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man, I really screwed up this weekend.  Just failed my daughter miserably.  She's 2.5, so yeah, she's TWO.  I seemed to have forgotten that fact and just got so frustrated with her all weekend long. My DH did too, and we just suck.  Now it's Monday and I want a re-do.  I want a time machine to go back and let her be two and have her meltdowns without joining her and making it worse.  I feel like such shit about it that I'm having a hard time concentrating at work.  This sucks.  I feel like such a crappy mom today...  :-([/quote]

I'm sorry you had a rough weekend and children can be really challenging at 2 1/2. And good for you for having remorse for not being the best parent you know you can be this weekend. But there's no need to beat yourself up about it further. Just resolve to do better and then do better. And since it sounds like your husband also contributed to leaving your daughter feeling less than supported this weekend, the two of you should probably talk about this to 1) make sure he feels the same and 2) to agree to support one another and take turns to have breaks when the challenging behavior is setting you both on edge. I'd hate for you OR you husband to fall into a pattern of short-fused responses, so better to know now if he agrees with your assessment of this past weekend or if he has no remorse. Best of luck.
