[quote=Anonymous]I felt this quite often when my son was between 3-4. I smacked his bottom on a few occasions- with my open hand and his clothes on. I don't think it impacted any of his behavior- all it managed to do was to flood me with shame and regret. My current alternative losing it behavior involves is screaming and cursing. It's just as frightening. Sadly, when I try to retreat to my room for my own time out when I feel that I am going to explode, my kids follow me. It's a really difficult dynamic and I find it very hard to dial it down when my very long fuse blows- generally at the end of a long day. Being a mom certainly is a challenge to grow up.... I am ashamed of ALL of these moments, but I also know that I have a very long fuse and sometimes it blows. [/quote]
