DC will stand in his crib and SCREEEEEEAAAAM and cry hysterically when he doesn't want to be in bed. Listening to that gives me an urge to smack him upside the head.

Obviously I don't, but.....UGH.

NP here. I was spanked just once as a child.

When my DS was born I had PPD and I wanted to hit my 2.5 yr DD when she was acting out or waking her brother. I felt AWFUL about even having those feelings. I did squeeze her arm really hard once and it did nothing at all to stop her wailing (I was worried she would wake him up) and I knew that physical punishment is not worth it.

OP--are you going through a hard time with your life? When you have the urge to hit your child, what else is happening? Are you scared of something else happening at the same time?


I can relate OP. The fear of the baby waking also put me in a rage
