For the past few weeks I find myself so stressful and screaming out of anger for no apparent reason to my poor child. Any advice as of what I can do to let this stress out? Help!

Your concern for your child shows that you are a great mom! Don't worry; I've been there. I believe that there is no mom who hasn't faced a similar moment and felt guilty about it later. In my time with Focus on the Family(Enfoque a la Familia), I'm aware of some terrific resources. The book, When You Feel Like Screaming: Help for Frustrated Mothers by Pat Holt and Dr. Grace Ketterman lists stress, and fatigue as primary reasons why mothers scream, and they also discuss screaming's negative effects on children. I'd suggest you also check out the following article series on http://bit.ly/Hy2xeQ “Parenting” and http://bit.ly/HB0Dt6 “Parenting Children”. They are designed to help parents guide their children through their different stages of development. Hope this helps and I wish you the best. God bless!

I get like that sometimes. Maybe you need a day to yourself. I was so stressed out and even developed anxiety so I had to leave out the house with a friend and came hoe at 3AM. I hanged out at my friend's house watch movies waited till her bf to get home then we went to eat at IHOP then we had a few beers in a bar. Since that day I literally was relaxed. I feel so uch better. Now my FH and I go out every Sat and do activities with our son. The way I was feeling was cause I was stuck at home doing the same routine .

Lindze,



That is very nice of you. The only free time I get is on Sunday's. It's my only free time and I only find myself doing house work instead of doing girlie things. It is pretty tough on me but I try extremely hard to relax.

Yes, Nataly! I sometimes, do feel like screaming at my son, but I don't ofcourse (I do in my mind). I think every mom goes through it, but at the end of the day we love our child or children no matter what. :)



What I do to let go of my stress is normally, I get my nails done, go tanning, hair done, or sometimes just do what I enjoy. :)



If you ever need someone to talk to, you can rant to me. :)
