Do your kids ever over stimulate you?
So my daughter is 7 and we think she has some kind of attention deficit disorder. Shes such a sweet kid and is a good kid but she talks. So. Much. Like when she wakes up she doesn’t stop talking. This doesn’t bother me all the time but some days I just get so tired of constantly having her call my name or ask me questions or just be talking with her toys. I feel bad typing this but I don’t know what to do. I’m a very introverted person. Too much stimulation makes me so frustrated and I get snappy with her and it makes me feel bad. I’m trying to work on it and just bite my tongue when I get that way. Like she was helping me make dinner and every thing she did I just snapped because she kept doing things wrong. Like I said NORMALLY this doesn’t bother me and she often helps me make dinner and there’s no issue. However tonight I was just so short tempered and she kept apologizing to me and I just kept saying “it’s not your fault I’m just frustrated” I always try to remind her that it’s not really her fault and that it’s a me problem but I’m worried she’s internalizing this stuff. Anyway I guess this is a rant and to see if I’m a bad mom or if it’s common for parents to get this way 😢 I always see like my friend and SIL with their babies and they never seem to get frustrated with them even when they’re acting up.
