Got proper angry today!
It's the very first time I have ever felt really mad today and boy did I feel bad afterwards!
Well I had opened a milkshake for Kade in a carton with a straw and he is usually very good but today he decided to squeeze it all over the carpet. I yelled no but he came back for a second squeeze lol. I told him that was very naughty and went to clean it up. Anyway in the meantime he went to grasp the carton again which I thought I'd placed out of his reach and squeezed it again but this time firing it all up the wall, the picture and all over the floor & radiator!!!
I was fuming and yelled -NO' very loud which startled him and carried him out to the hallway to sit him down. I told him to stay there till mummy mopped up the milkshake. All the while he had started crying but I just kept thinking of what supernanny says lol! (he's 19 months)
He got up but I put him back there till I'd finished cleaning up. I then went to him to explain why I had done that and asked him for a sorry. He said it and we hugged but I felt sooo bad later.
He was fine watching fireman sam later but I was just hugging him with tears in my eyes. OH came through and wondered what had happened and when I told him didn't understand what I was bothered about but I hate shouting at him.
I guess I need to be tougher but does anyone else find it tough disciplining?

Thanks again, don't feel so mean now lol
To get her to take any notice I have to raise my voice considerably, and then when she starts crying I feel awful for yelling at her, but I know it has to be done. Sometimes at the end of the day I feel like all I've done is shout at her!
You did really well tho. Really gud your lo is used to the naughty step already! My two still try to get up and walk off even now!! argh!
Sugar n Spice, that's just it, I have never used the naughty step before, this was the total first time. I think that's why it pulled at my heartstrings even more because he just sat there and did everything like he should lol
