sierciaI know I said this the other day, but why is it that our children are at their very least loveable when they need us the most? I mean, really.
I felt bad this morning even as I was losing my temper at the already sad, snot covered, whining, cling monley in my arms, but I had just had it. I knew that she was as upset as she was because she knew I was in a bad mood and thought I was mad at her, but I still couldn't hold my temper, which meant that I yelled at her, even when she needed me to be understanding (in my defense, I'd already *tried* being sympathetic, and it didn't really help),
After her nap, she said the saddest thing to Imagy... "Titi, sometimes it's very hard to be happy."

Date: 2003-11-04 02:20 am (UTC)I have to remind myself, when one or more of my little ones is just over the whiny-clingy limit, that they're either not feeling well or overtired. It seems once I can rationalize it, I can deal with it, rather than just feeling it's coming out of the blue. Not to say I don't lose my temper too. :/
