He just told me “at least he doesn’t scream in their faces all day” insinuating that I do. He knows I’ve been having a tough time lately feeling like a shitty mom because I lose my temper sometimes. I’ve been crying about it to him this last week, I can’t believe he just said that. I have 2.5 year old twins who are very independent, strong willed little people. It’s tough! I try my best but sometimes after repeating myself 30 times in 5 minutes, I get worn down and I’m either short with them or I yell. I don’t “scream in their faces all day.” I’m not proud of it but it happens and I’m working on it. But I don’t want them to grow up and walk all over us, I’m trying to teach them respect. I am the only one who disciplines them because he says he is always at work and doesn’t want to discipline them when he’s around. No wonder he is the favorite! Come on. So I finally got him to give one of them a time out, but still I had to say to him in front of her “you need to put her in a time out.” So in her eyes, mommy is forcing daddy to do this, she’s the mean one. So he proceeds to put her in a timeout and sit there on the step with her and talk to her in a super gentle voice. I’m like no????? This is supposed to be a time out??? I’m all about time out, then talk about it after. But not hanging out with them during or taking absolutely forever to put them in the timeout to begin with to the point where they forget what they even did.

My kids are going to hate me because I’m no fun and they’re only going to love him because he’s all fun. It’s unreal and so unfair. If it weren’t for me, nothing would get done and my house would be a zoo. 😡😡😡😡
