Why is it...

[siercia]

that the days I am least in the mood to deal with Widget are the days when she seems to want me the most? It's enough to make me scream.

Logically, I know why it seems to happen that way - I'm sure that I do something to make her feel like I'm unhappy with her (or don't want her around), which makes her more clingy because now she knows I'm "mad", which frays my tmper even further which makes her more clingy, and on and on and on.

Knowing that doesn't do much to make it easier to deal with.

At least we got in good bedtime snuggles tonight. That's the easiest time in the world to forget how ill-behaved she was all day and give her smothering lovies, because I know when we're done, I'm done for the day ad she's going to sleep.

God, I'm such a horrible mom sometimes.

I swear all of our toddlers are hormonal or something. It seems that the past few days have been horrendus for everyone i know with a toddler.

Felling the clingly kid pain, i could have written your post myself.

Be strong.

Nobody's perfect, hon. Better Widget knows this.
