You are not alone trust me. I feel your pain and feel the same way. My husband tells me that I need to learn to be more passive. I just look at him like he's a alien and wonder if he has a clue what it is really like being a stay at home mom!!! The other day I just sat in the bathroom for 30 minutes to get piece and quite then when I come out there is a card from my 17 year old telling me that I'm not there for her. Frustrating to say the least. Hang in there just as I do and today I decided to join these chat groups because there are mothers out there that feel the same way but just won't admit it.

Blessings and keep praying.

You need a break. Someone to share the stress with. I know how you feel. I feel terrible sometimes for yelling at my daughter (who is only 2) for things that really arnt that bad...if i wasnt already stressed...they wouldnt have gotten to me. Find a way to take a breather in the middle of everything...i kno i kno if you had time to do tat...you wouldnt have this problem....

I feel the same way. So, you are definitely not alone. I find myself freaking out on my kids AND husband a lot. I feel like I'm doing this on my own and I don't get the support that I need from my husband...that's why I'm here. And I don't want to be the psycho mom that I'm turning into.

I can totally relate, I'm a stay at home mom my husband works evenings and doesn't get home till midnight sometimes, we have 3 kids two boys 8 and 6 who are in school and I have a 16 month old daughter (that is not a problem YET..lol) but some days they won't be home 5 minutes and it seems like I'm already having to yell at them to do stuff that they already know..like take off your shoes and put them and your backpacks in your room and wash your hands before you come and eat your snack.. I too feel like a broken record.. but I've learned that patients is the only answer for me.. if I don't loose my cool and stay calm and maybe I have to remind more than once I "try" not to let it get to me.. some days are easier than others.. it doesn't happen over night I've learned.. trust me..lol
