Question

Is it normal to get frustrated with my kids?

Answer 1

OF course it is......I don't know about u ..but i get frustrated every day!!! that's part of parenting..There will be times when they just tick you off..We are all humans and they are just kids and they will be doing sooooooo many more upsetting things in the future and the frustration will just get even more and more...That is part of life...

SO just hang in there and try to be patience with these kids..And do the best u can with all the love and disciplining in their lives....GOOD luck

Answer 2

I myself have never been a very patient person but have always tried to do the best I can w/ not gett'n to frustrated w/ my kids. Here lately my 2 1/2 yr old is testing every level & causing me to get much more frustrated, much faster. I beleive every parent feels bad when they get upset w/ their kids but I think its just a part of life. Your completly normal!

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

yes it is....but its how you show your frustration that counts....losing your temper is not good...but telling your children that you need a time out because you are frustrated is better....I try to do that when I am...but as with every normal person it's easier said then done....

I am nice to them but i end up taking it out on my sisters or brothers or husband maybe a dog.....But yes all the time all the time! its SOO normal it. it would be unormal if you didn't!!! Good Luck with the kids!

Answer 8

yes, take some parenting classes and get some counseling.  learn to take a time out for yourself and hug your children instead of yelling at them.

Answer 9

yes, it is.

Answer 10

Yes.  My daughter is 3-years-old and very much testing her independence and tries to do things "her way."  It's sometimes hard for me and I'm 32 weeks pregnant as well so my hormones have let me become even easily frustrated.  I just try to not take it out on anyone and if I do say something I regret I always apologize to whoever was around even my daughter.

Answer 11

Um, yeah!!  :)

Answer 12

Oh yes!

However make sure you only show that fustration in an apropriate way and In the right circumstances.

If they are doing annoying or fustrating things you can express how this makes you feel and what they can do to please you then praise them lots for doing what you ask.

I you are just feeling that way out and they're just wanting a bit of attention it's not fair to act crabby with them, especially as a 'playfull' annoying can soon turn into a 'down right naughty, cos I'd rather you yelled at me than ignore me' sort of annoying!

Never as simple as that sounds though!

just be as calm and patient with them as you can, but let them know when they make you feel cross so that they can learn from that.   And find a good way to vent your fustrations, I used to go out and smoke to calm down.  I've quit now, I go and play a musical instrument or clean the toilet vigourously!

enjoy them X
