I totally can relate. It's so hard being a parent sometimes! Sometimes I get impatient with my daughter for no reason really and get really short with her (she's three by the way). She's being stubborn about using the potty. I'm getting so frustrated about it! And then I get angry with her, and I know it's not her fault. She's obviously trying, and we're all trying really hard to get her to use it, and she does use it, just not all of the time (and please don't think I'm a horrible mother because I have a three year old who isn't completely potty trained. We're TRYING. We're working on it! We're not lazy parents!). And she's a great kid too. Other than the whining she's very well behaved. Sigh. I just hate being frustrated about the potty thing! I know she'll get there. It's just taking so LONG. Ugh!

Anyway, what I've been doing lately is going to the park by myself at least once a week and sitting by the water by myself. It's really soothing and relaxing, and I always feel much better afterwards.

I agree with the above poster about taking some time out for yourself. I think it's really important for us to keep our sanity.

Parenting can be so HARD!
