I am very sick right now going on week 2. To put it Iām feeling absolutely miserable. I am a single mom and I live alone with my toddler. I asked my 3 year old to help me clean his mess up. His room and the living room are littered with his toys so we could get ready for bed. He starts crying and trying to play while Iām cleaning. I ask him to bring me a bucket and he throws it at my head. I burst into tears immediately and start bawling while heās laughing hysterically at me. I tell him he needs to help me because Iām sick and I canāt do it by myself. I say if you donāt help me clean up the legos Iām going to have to take them away for a while. Then he tells me he wants to go and find a new family. I just feel defeated today. I hope tomorrow will be better. Rant over
I was at the gas station once trying to pump gas and he was screaming āget me out of hereā at the top of his lungs and someone came up to me and asked āis there anything I can help withā in a serious tone and Iām 90 percent sure that she thought I kidnapped him. I told her I wish you could help me he wants to get out of the car and run around the gas station got in my car and left.
Itās nice to hear that it becomes less frequent.
Itās not so much that I took it seriously itās that I already felt so so crappy and that just made me feel worse.
Yeah I donāt miss having a partner most of the time. I actually prefer it like this. I only miss it when times get tough and it would be nice to have some support. He did end up apologizing this morning for throwing the bin at me. So I can see that he felt bad about it. I also model apologizing to him when I mess up. Something is clicking I guess.
Your response is really funny! Sorry you had to hear that though. Sometimes itās hard to hear.
I swear! They really go for the jugular when theyāre upset.
It really was a horrible day. Most of the time when he says something like ā I donāt love you anymoreā I respond with thatās ok because I still love you and things like that but when on days like yesterday it really broke me to hear that.
Oh no haha thatās kind of funny that he still holds that memory.
It really doesnāt help at all when youāre having a rough time. Kids donāt understand but it still hurts to hear.
