This week has been really hard on me. The 2 year old and I, we butt heads.
I'm saying No way too much.
I'm losing my cool way too much.
I'm definitely not being the mom I want to be, the mom I love to be.
It is really hard. I thought we got past this stage where everything is a fight. Where getting dressed, changing a diaper, putting on shoes, brushing teeth is an ordeal that starts with a running and laughing toddler, and ends with a frustrated mom and the toddler kicking and screaming.
Every day I wake up thinking, I'm going to have more patience today. And every day I have a meltdown.
This is a depressing post, isn't it?
Thank goodness for Juan who comes home and rescues me. He comes home to a basket-case of a wife and he drops everything to help. I love him.
And thank goodness that every week isn't like this.

I can relate :)
I have been feeling the SAME things this week Cami! I'm so glad you posted this so I don't feel like I'm the only one out there and I'm a terrible mother. And I have been feeling this with both of my girls this week. Zelda is just a clingy mess who throws all her food off of her highchair and screams until I get the right thing. Ugh. I hear you girl.
Agreed!!! Sometimes I pretend (in my head) that I'm going to sell my 3 year old. Then I get so happy that I didn't sell her and a little bit of the patience comes back, lol. I loved the truth of this post! Thank you Cami! :) :) :)
You're a wonderful Mom Cami! You'll get better and better and then some other thing will get thrown in the mix! Just remember that every Mom has been through it whether they admit it or not. Thank goodness for Dad's who give us a little break!
Like everyone else, I'm with you. Only ours is almost four (that's probably not reassuring-- sorry). Anyway, I have been so frustrated at how impatient I've been lately. But we just keep trying, right? You're wonderful and your girls are blessed to have you as a mom.
Oh, my friend, I know! I have noticed it does get better after 3, not great, but better... And then the next child gets to that stage *sigh*
Mine are just starting into that throw-a-fit-over-absolutely-everything-that-isn't-they-way-I-want-it phase. Yikes! It is super hard some days. Plus they are bigger now so they can get into more stuff. It's a good thing they are just so dang cute the rest of the time :) I feel for you (and me!)!
