How many times a day do you lose your patience with your kids?

Question

I feel like patience is lacking during this stage of parenting for me now that she’s almost 3. I’ve been sooo patient up until now. Wondering if this is a normal part of parenting to feel very low patience at times throughout each day and to even snap on occasion.

Answer

Depends on the day for me. Some days are better than others.

Answer

Look into the book Raising Good Humans! It is all about regulating your own emotions/staying calm in order to teach your kids by example how to be emotionally regulated as they grow up!

Answer

I don’t really at all with my almost 2 year old.  The teens are a different story though 😂 when I’ve asked them to do something 427 times over 8 hours, and they still say “in a minute” then yes, I have a tendency to snap on them

Answer

I loose patience with my son (2.5yrs) and sometimes snap. I'm not perfect but I'm trying. I ALWAYS apologize to him after and know that the next time I'm feeling overwhelmed I tell my son I need space for a minute and go sit on my bed with the door open. Just removing myself for a couple minutes puts things into perspective and almost always I'm over reacting.
He is loved and safe. It's not perfect but it's ok that I get overwhelmed and loose patience. It's important that I trying

Answer

The “3” I’ve found is the worse not the “2”!! :)

Answer

I’m almost 37 weeks pregnant and definitely have way less patience right now for my 21 month old. I’ve resorted to just walking away when she is throwing a toddler tantrum.

Answer

Depends on the day for my older kids, bc they know better. I don’t really with my one year old.

Answer

None. I do get frustrated with them sometimes, but it certainly isn't on a daily or even a weekly basis. I definitely wouldn't have 3 kids under 5 if I felt frustrated that often with them.
I usually only get frustrated with my 4 y/o when he is having one of those super whiney/cry about everything days. And on those days, I certainly get frustrated more than once. It happens pretty much all day, but thankfully those days are rare.
It is rare that I get frustrated with my 2 y/o who has autism. But when my 4 y/o is crying, my 2 y/o for some reason has a tendency to try to attack him by clawing him in the face or biting him. Therapist says his brother screaming is giving him sensory overload when it happens. Thankfully he has never tried to do it to the youngest. 
And as for my 1 y/o, it's extremely rare I get frustrated with him. I EBF'd the other two, but he couldn't and breastfeeding was a struggle so he and I both got frustrated with that. And last month when he was sick, he near screamed himself to death because he couldn't take a pacifier because he was congested and my nose freida wasn't helping. So I kinda felt frustrated then. But besides that, never felt frustrated with him. He's a pretty easy going guy.

Answer

All the time😬 We have 5 kiddos in the house and I probably lose it more with my 4 year old. She absolute wild child that doesn’t listen 😭😭😭 
We are all human and doing the best we can.

Answer

I definitely lose it on my older kids wayyy more now than when they were little.
Almost 9 and 12.
Their ears must turn off at random times because they apparently can’t hear me ever haahah
It’s sooo frustrating!
