Is it ok to get annoyed with your kid?

I very frequently get annoyed with my 1.5 year for he is a super active kid and i am a very impatient person. He just keep doing some or other things which doesn't let me at peace even for a moment till he sleeps. And i end up yelling on him most of the times. Poor kid.
I know it's not his fault, but i just loose it. I do feel guilty every time i yell on him. sometimes, all my other frustrations too, come out on the poor kid. I know it's not good but don't know how to control it.
Any suggestions?

I know how it is to handle a toddler , even i have one at home.she is one year old.I am not sure if you feel my advice right , as long as baby is awake concentrate only in playing with him , avoid use of mobile and television untill it is very important.Try to play and run with them , that makes them feel attended.Also give them some puffed rice or any little amount of food in a bowl so that they play as well as eat.Take him to park or any play areas if you have nearby.These all things would help a little bit i guess.
you can also give sleep suggestions to baby, that is done by saying them not to break things or harm themselves while playing, this is done when they are sleeping.

I understand what you are saying, but what to do of the domestic chores? I have to finish everything and run to work, then come back and prepare dinner n all... i take him to the park in the late evening, but back from there i have so much to do. And i don't understand why is he not interested in any toy? some times all of it takes a toll..

being a parent is really a test of our patience. we should keep in mind that they are just kids. would you rather have a kid who just sit there, doing nothing, than what you have who is super active? i think having a super active kid is better.

I don't have any kids, but kids can get frustrating (I baby sat) and I cannot imagine if I had kids right now... I have a short temper sometimes. But it is best to try to be patient a little.

Kids at that age can really be so naughty . Why not just let him play while you watch over him , in a place where it is safe for him to play with his toys . Just let him play with his toys and when he is done , give him his favorite foods .
It's bad to yell at children . Just cajole them , because they can after all be cajoled .

I agree its so so bad to do this to him. And trust me, everytime i tell myself i won't do it again.
He doesn't play with his toys.. he wants crockery to break, or water to throw on the carpet, or simply walk out and throw things from the balcony. I thing god is trying to teach me to be patient.

I can understand where you are coming from because I know kiddos can be a handful, but don't forget they are still growing and learning. They also will push you to your limit if they notice they get a reaction out of you. I learned with my daughter sometimes just ignoring the tantrums was the trick. And timeout was best for us. Every kid is different and you will find what works best for you. Just don't forget that they aren't this small forever and you will miss these days someday. :)
