Did you ever feel bad for scolding your child?

yes, of course I feel bad after I scold my son. Its all the more worse since he’s an only child and I can feel his loneliness yet, I just cant be his friends all the time. Like you, I too need my own time, a little rest or just simple household chores yet he wants me to be by his side all the time. Its so frustrating and sometimes my patience just snaps and I shout at him or tell him off and he walks away with a small face and I feel so bad then. I go and give him a hug but then I also tell him to try and understand that after all momma has only two hands and cannot be a superwoman all the time.

Yeah i feel bad after scolding my children, it's not easy to get angry with them but we have to discipline them every time they do things which is not right to make it correct and would raise them to be a better citizen.

Only if I was unfair or grouchy beyond what was reasonable for what they were doing...

Yes, i do feel bad when sometimes i need to scold him for disturbing my things and make the house messy. Although i scold him, but i do realized he is just a child, which is still in learning stage, so i am trying my best not to scold him too much. I am trying my best to make him realized how to handle things in daily life. Like, pick up all the toys and put them back in his toy cabinet, after he don't want to play them anymore. He seems quite understand and had tried his best, to do as i had requested, so i am quite happy to see the improvement.

Yes there are times were I feel bad after the fact.. And I ask myself was that really necessary or wasn't there a better way of handling the situation.. I remind myself that I am not human, I do and will make mistakes.. And try to change the way I respond the next time it happens.. My son didn't come with an instruction manual, have to remember that its a learning for the both of us.. He is growing up, and he is my first child so the experience is just not there yet..
