[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's been one week of summer vacation and at our beach house during a gap before my kids have camp. I've been off work to spend time with them and i feel terrible but - it has made me SO CRANKY. I keep thinking - they are growing up and this time is precious. But when i am actually trying to entertain them/ get them off ipads/ make food/ keep the house from being chaotic my stress levels are skyrocketing and I feel like one of those dogs who starts exhibiting concerning behavior bc they are locked in a cage. It's also been too hot to do a lot of activities I normally would to get them out of the house. 
I feel awful about feeling like this. Why can't I just enjoy parenting? [/quote]

Think about how they feel because you are making them miserable.  They didn't ask to be here so patience.  There are no gold stars for doing your job as a parent.[/quote]

always someone with the 'you suck for being a human and not a robot' being hot take.
