Is it appropriate for a mother to keep on being mad on her little kids for no reason?

Question

a 4 year old boy, and 1 year over girl. those kids weren't actually doing anything bad, just being cheerful around their mom with toys and their cheeky moves and giggles, which she could just ignore it and do her things, or settle it up with yeah, uhm, oh, ok, i see, yes etc.. but she can't help it by kept on getting distracted from what she has been paying attention to, which ain't paperworks or houseworks, but dinner, tv, or maybe reading magazines too. i duno if it's got to do with mommy's pressures that is it right to do so like allllll the time, while the kids aren't being bad? she kept on speaking with furious tone, saying shut up to them like they're enemies, acting cold, with the all-time hatred mood towards them. however, there is once in a while when she could be nice to them. is this the standard level for a mother? i also don't expect very good holy mothers though.

Answer 1

No most certainly not!!! Those kids are 4 and 1 they have to laugh and giggle and play with toys, as younger kids thats what they do and they really don't know that their mom is getting mad at them because they are just little kids. The poor things don't know any better, and the mom should not just get mad at her young kids for them bothering her, thats not right. Those kids are doing what they are supposed to do by playing and having fun and if they are not getting into mischief and trouble then she has no right to scream, yell, say bad language towards them, and punish them. I think she should calm down by having a babysitter come for the next few days and she can go off to the spa and relax and rethink what she is doing to her kids. They will grow up hating her if she keeps it up. I know because I've been there before and it wasn't pretty.....trust me..well I hope my answer will help!

Answer 2

Well no, that's child abuse.

Answer 3

It is normal for parents to "sometimes" get stressed out from the noise, but all the time is not right.  The poor kids are being subjected to abuse.  Is the mother depressed?  I think she needs to go and see a Dr.  I really feel sorry for the kids.

Answer 4

This mother exhibits a certain level disinterest in her children.  I often hear people become irritated with their children for behaving like...children.  A child who is playing and laughing is hardly a nuisance and I can only imagine how she must react when her children are behaving poorly. If she is cooking or cleaning it is the perfect time to teach the children to perform certain household tasks and to spend time with them.  If children are given adequate attention and affection throughout the day, they are much more respectful of the parents personal time.  One must approach parenting with an infinite amount of patience and a joy for life that allows you to just go with the flow.

Answer 5

If I understand your question....No, this is emotional and/or mental abuse.  Difficult to prove but often just as damaging as physical even sexual abuse.  We all get stressed out from time to time, if this happed one night then it is probably simply stress...if this is happening the majority of the time, refer to my original answer.

Answer 6

She is feeling stressed out and she has to learn to relax and let the little "annoyances" go. She is being very selfish and she'd better knock it off or her kids will not be close to her at all when they're older. She is hurting them and doesn't even know it. Hopefully someone can talk some sense into her!

Answer 7

sometimes people just lose their cool you know we've all gone through it

Answer 8

This woman is acting inappropriately.  It sounds like she may have a mental illness that has not been diagnosed or she grew up in a home herself witnessing poor, ineffective parenting skills.  Children that age should be taught by example. In my opinion this is child abuse.

Answer 9

no one is perfect, some mothers are good at being mothers than others... its because we are all unique and different,

this mother is not acting right, if she cant concentrate or is getting upset by basic natural things kids do at young age (which aren't wrong to do)

has a problem which should be sorted out, she should seek guidance to instruct her how to get over these things that bother her... maybe find a better time to read a magazine if she is looking for quiet time...

or have her kids play in a different room,

or just get over it and accept the fact thats how kids are and understand its a phase she needs to pass in rising her children... it wont last forever... tolerance...
