I screamed in front of my baby and feel so guilty

Bless. Motherhood is a test of patience and some days you may not pass the test. But everyday is an opportunity to learn and do better. We’re all making mistakes and expressing frustrations but learning to do better. You’re okay mama x

You haven't abused her hun. It's such a hard journey!!! The fact you feel so bad shows how much you love her x

You haven’t abused her. You just got frustrated and overstimulated. We have all been there, don’t be hard on yourself it’s a hard job. Tomorrows a new day x

You haven't abused her, its alot to take on especially when us mum's haven't stopped for the toilet/drink or eaten, lack of sleep on top. You can't help it saying that front of her, it's hard to always stay calm in those moments x

Loool I do this daily 😂

I've done this loads! It can be so overwhelming and frustrating! It's just about trying to learn for next time! X

It's not the only time she will hear that...

@Angie but it still isn’t the way I want to respond to being overwhelmed

Mate. I have a toddler with chickenpox and a 5 month old. Toddler is now all better but still not allowed back at nursery. I too have lost it a few times. It’s not your first and it won’t be your last. We all do it. Motherhood is hard. Don’t be too hard on yourself. ♥️

@Elena really hope you’re joking

@Jo do you wanna come at me on anymore posts I’ve commented on or are you done for the night?

@Elena don’t be so vile then, feel for your baby tbh 🥺

@Jo this is a nasty thing to say? Unless she’s openly admitted to neglecting or abusing her child I really don’t see how this comment can be justified? I took her comment as a joke

It was a comment on another post too x

@Jo I’m not vile I’m far from it. Im a solo parent doing things alone, I get frustrated and overwhelmed. I have BPD. I may shout fucking hell or for fuck sake multiple times a day but that has fuck all to do with my parenting skills. My baby has hit every milestone early, doesn’t cry, is the happiest child going, gets 3 meals a day and all his milk, warm cosy house, all new clothes. Just cos I shout out loud has no effect on ANY of this. I’m not shouting directly at him in his face.

You shouted yes, but you didn't leave her. You picked the best option at the time to let the feeling out and that's ok! You can work on ways to deal with the overstimulated but you don't need to beat yourself up xxx

@Jo saying what? That she’s beating her child I would assume by your comments?

@Jo I call my kid a little shit if he’s being a little shit I’m not abusing my child or neglecting him. Do you really think half the people you know have never done this? A lot of people just pretend they don’t cos they wanna be this perfect parent. I’m a say it how it is kind of person if I’ve done something I ain’t gonna lie about it and pretend I’m all sweet and innocent.

By what comments?

@Jo by saying you ‘feel for her baby’ and using the term ‘vile’

We've all been there. Don't beat yourself up. The fact you feel so guilty shows what a great mum and job you're doing 🙃

I mean... I guess but like, saying "fuck sakes" is not an unhealthy expression of frustration/overwhelm. If you were saying it about her or to her, that would be different. But using these words when not directed at someone are not harmful

Im a former police officer and am currently a prison officer. There has been no abuse here at all! Things get hard and being a mother is the hardest job. Youre doing well, dont beat yourself up about it. Youre human so take it easy on yourself!!x

Do you have support? I do little high pitched screams with my son not in a mean way and he’ll mimic it and laugh my oldest will join in too sometimes. It’s something I’ve done when overwhelmed it’s grounding to me especially hearing their little laughs and happy screams. I’ve done with both my kids since they were babies. You may have startled her but everyone makes mistakes. I hate poopy situations like this but I have to laugh to keep from crying when they happen😅
