I'm so in awe of all mothers taking the time to think about their reactions to situations regarding their kids, taking the time to reflect on what they could have done better and actively working towards that. What an amazing parent for your little Bug to be around. But also, cut yourself some slack. Screaming is pretty nerve-wracking, no matter how great of a parent you are. Sometimes you're just not int he right mindset to be able to handle things perfectly, and that's okay. Your Bug will see your effort and I believe that's more important than showing her constant parenting perfection.
This is so timely for me. We were in church with my 14mo and 3yo the Sunday post daylight savings and it did not go well. I too wish I would have handled it better... honestly I had a tough time regulating myself. They're learning. I'm learning. We won't get it right every time (even though my perfectionist desperately wants to.) I'm determined to not let me fear get the best of me and skip out this week... we'll see.
Thank you!!!!! Yes it’s so helpful to know this I just have to actually remember it in the moment 😅😅😅 very much appreciating being here for this stage of parenting

Exactly! It’s just getting back on the horse and those parenting muscles of ours getting stronger!!!
You sound like a great mum plus here in the Netherlands people seem to be suuuuper chill with their kids so I wouldn’t worry what they think 😉
