ngl.. that kinda hurt 😢

So my 3yo had no school today (school starts here at 2,5yo)

and my dad took him to the circus.

So aparantly he made a fuss about coming home and he wanted to go back to grandma..

So this evening I am bathing him and I asked him if he's been good today.

And he told me "no, I was bad because I didn't want to come home to you because I don't love you and I'm scared of you"

I asked him why he's scared of me but he didn't answer me so I let it go.

I am not an angry mom, I don't hit him ever and I don't usually yell. I will admit that I do get frustrated when he's stalling and we need to be somewhere but I'm not by any means a mean mom.. at least not that I think...

It's not an excuse but I work fulltime in a stressfull high responsibility job, my partner has 3 other kids of whom 2 are starting puberty and are constantly talking back and ignoring instructions and are being a bad example for the little one who then starts to act out.. so yeah I get frustrated and I can't tap out because everyone needs to get ready on time and my partner is working opposite shifts so he's often not around to take over.
