I Am a Mother

Put my daughter in timeout today and she screamed that she hated me. First time she’s ever told me that she hated me & my hearts broken. I now know how my mom felt when I told her the same thing as a child and teenager and I so freakin wish I could take it back now.

I got that a bit from my son as he was growing up and had plenty of timeouts. But, at over 30 now, he still tells me he loves me when we're done talking. It comes with the territory, but it'll pass as well. But yeah, it does feel like a knife to the heart for a bit.

@Brittani She'll realize it, just takes time. The tantrums, fits, saying I hate you, or even catching under the breath little things does hurt, I won't lie. But in the end, you know you're doing it for the right reasons and someday she'll know it too. Just be there and love her when she's ready and she will be. Biggest thing is, don't let them see it breaks your heart. They'll use it. They are smart and sneaky. :D

You're doing fine though. She'll be over it before you know it.
