OK, I was tired from the very morning and my house was a mess, and in the eve we had to have guest... (I admit I was crancky from the very beginning).

But my daughter was very stubborn from the very morning-- she did not want to dress, did not want to have breakfast, did not want let me finish fast to plant the flower we got, did not want to go outside, even when wheather was very very good.

Fine you might say-- all this usual toddler staff and yes my reaction was negative, basically yelling.

But when my daughter run away frommein the middle of the road (OK,ok, quet street, but still the car could come)... I exploded and told her very bad things-- that she is stubborn and unrully, bad girl, I hate her for doing this...not very positive behavior, moreover I guess she could not get why I got so mad... and run away again and felt down, geting big boo-boo on her knees.

I tried to speak with her when she was quieter, but id did not work much, she yelled and hit me back.

Then she acted out when the guests arrived, then she spilled intentionally drink on one of the guests, then she cried under the chair, then she pooped, then refused to go to sleep, then finaly got asleep without letting me to change her.

I am finished,no energy, and sour/bittertaste toward my girl...Help..

" I know how you feel! I have days like that and your supposed to do the positive attitude thing and not yell, but sometimes it just gets to be too much! At the end of those days when I look at her sleeping so soundly in her bed and looking so cute, I feel bad for yelling at her and that I have been a bad mother. No one ever said that raising a toddler would be easy!!! "

" Wow you were surely tested to your limits. I think it is alright to explode every now and then but then we feel so guilty. Hope today is better. "
