[quote=Anonymous]My 2 year old (month away from 3) has been kicking, biting, punching and smacking me a lot lately. Sometimes he does this to his dad, but it's mostly at me. I was trying to get my older child ready for her ballet class and my 2 year old was wailing on my back. I can usually ignore/redirect this behavior, which the pediatrician tells me is normal, but tonight he hit me right at the base of my spine with his little fist and really hurt me. I lost it. I turned around, slapped him, and said "YOU WILL NOT HIT ME ANYMORE". I just lost it and now I feel like shit. My son cried, of course. Wanted daddy. Now he's here sitting on my lap like nothing happened.

I have 3 children and I've never lost it like that before. Ever. I just cannot take the hitting and laughing at my attempts to discipline anymore. I want to apologize to my son, but I'm afraid even bringing up hitting will spark his interest and it will just get him going again.

How do I stop feeling like shit and how do I make it up to my son? [/quote]
