[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some diary entries from when Collin was TWO. She's always had it out for that poor boy. I was absolutely awful to Collin who was awful to me! He does things just to irritate me! I told him at one point to sit in the corner (one of a million times) and he disregarded me and threw the one gate on the floor! I am too rough with him and the girls see that-- I feel so guilty that I treated him like that that I will set out tomorrow to be a better mommy! -- Today was another 2 year old rough day! At nap (or even before the official start) they stripped again and got spankings, then after nap, a few more stripped and joel shredded a book as well as a paper shredder would! Then Alexis took the recycling off the counter and the final straw,… Collin pulled my press n seal off the counter and pulled ten feet or more off the almost new roll!!!!1 I was out of control so I made him goto his room until I could settle!UGH I hate this two year old naughtiness stuff! -- Oh I wanted to mention my stress melt down today. After dealing with insurance companies all day due to being sideswiped by the old lady in the Shillington farmers market parking lot and having to file those reports, then having Heather stop by unannounced and it was the girls first day back to school after vacation, then Alexis and her ear pain and trying to make her an appt to see the doctor at a ret a r ted practice, I let the kids play for the first time in the water table that had beans in it instead…. Collin decided to pour the beans all over the floor while I was inside peeling potatoes, so the girls told me and I sent all the offenders inside. Well Collin didn’t like that I sent him in and when I was out in the garage, I heard three large bangs…I went inside and three highchairs were on the floor literally. [b]I was instantly so SO angry, that I grabbed him and spanked him as hard as I could and thought I may seriously injure him so I sent him to his crib…. And whipped him into it very hard! I for the first time thought I may really lose it and am glad that I just let him in his crib til Jon came home! I have never felt that I may really seriously injure a child but today was that day![/b] I don’t know what it is about Collin! He is usually kind and caring and nice and tender but when his temper flairs…. Watch out![b] I don’t like that he doesn’t know how to handle his frustration and anger![/b] I didn’t even get a chance to have him apologize to me because I had to drop everything and take Alexis to the doctor! -- Collin continues to try my nerves! He is really extremely helpful and I can count on him to get the job done one minute and the next he is doing something to make me nuts—like calling me a ‘boy’ repeatedly when he knows that I am a girl. Little things like that just to annoy!!!! -- Today they were actually naughtier than normal. Collin and Aaden continue to try my patience as usual. It is as if they set out to do exactly what I have just asked them not to immediately after I tell them not to! It is soooo frustrating and I can’t say that I am as patient as I should be…in fact, I am plain rough sometimes in response to their constant disobedience!!! -- [/quote] Re the bolded...how incredibly ironic.[/quote] honestly this makes me feel for her / both parents. I'm a great mom (if I do say so myself) and have never hurt my kids but have definitely imagined smacking them across the face when I'm exhausted and cracking and its all so relentless. And I've only had 1 2yo at a time, I can't imagine 6. Of course I'm not saying its justified to hit a kid and ideally they'd have gotten help, but i do see how it would be so overwhelming it could push you too a blind rage at times. I don't think any adult could care for their own 6 2yos day in and day out without losing it sometimes[/quote] I'm sure many parents have felt the way you describe. However, if you were actually hitting and slamming your kid around after instantly becoming so angry would you then be curious as to why that kid had trouble handling frustration and controlling their temper?[/quote]
