What a thoughtful reply! Thank you. She is 6, things have improved a fair bit in regard to settling at night but she still doesn’t sleep through…..I think I am part of my own problem, my brain is pretty mean to me ☺
Thanks again for your kind words and for reading x

Hugs!!! How old is she? Bedtimes when we had just our eldest were a bit like that. We all make mistakes. But you should never feel like a failure. Never beat yourself up. Be kind to yourself. So you don’t think you handled it well, in the end? Look at all that you did before you lost your temper. Really, look at all you did before you end up crying all yourself. You are being the best mummy you can be to your daughter (the daughter that she is, today) and given the circumstances of your current life. I don’t have magic advice to give you that will make it all better. My son was a bit like that. He’s 8 now, and since sharing a room with his brother a few years ago, things have gone better. I think he never liked being on his own. I’m sorry you found it so hard. But please, smile and be kind to yourself. Today (that day) was a bad day, but tomorrow will be a better one. And yes, there will be bad days again, but it’ll all be ok in the end 🙂 #PostsFromTheHeart

In reply to mumof2point5. It's so hard isn't it. Like we have a super shit day like that and then the next day is all roses and light and we wonder why the flip we were so down on ourselves. Being a parent is like being an adolescent only more hardcore! Thanks so much for reading x

You’re most definitely not alone in this and it does not make you a crappy parent! Sometimes we need to be good enough for that day and do better the next 🙂 #PostsFromTheHeart

Yep I feel like this ALL THE TIME! I asked my hubby the other day if maybe the toddler just hates me and that’s why he’s so bad for me. We all have crappy days, that’s what makes us human 🙂 #postsfromthe heart
