2 yr old bit me and I had a breakdown đ
Earlier my son came up behind me and bit me really hard on my back. He didnât do it to be mean, he just gets super excited and does this sometimes. Iâve been working on correcting the behavior and heâs actually pretty good these days. But this bite was really bad. He actually drew a little blood and itâs still throbbing an hour later. Anyway one of the things youâre supposed to do is let them see that it hurt you. Since I both literally and figuratively didnât see this bite coming I let out a yell and tears sprang to my eyes. When he saw me crying he started crying too and hugged me and said sorry.
Thatâs when I lost it. Just started sobbing with tears streaming down my face. I know this was really about all the stress of the covid situation. Weâve been in quarantine for 3 weeks, me working from home and taking care of him. Iâm a single mom so itâs just the 2 of us. I know weâre lucky to be safe and healthy. Iâm still employed but my employer has said there may be layoffs starting next month. And even though I donât think Iâd be laid off itâs still a possibility and makes me more concerned about being productive with work which is really hard with an active toddler in the house.
And I feel like every time I try to express how I feel to friends/family/coworkers I get the response of âeveryoneâs going through stuff, and youâre better off than a lot people.â Which I KNOW is true, but still.
Anyway. I just needed to vent. Thanks for reading. â¤ď¸
