I can so relate to how you feel and it's really nice to think that something I said resonated with you.My son is 'high maintenance' and at times I wonder what it is that I am doing that is keeping his frustrated/frustrating behaviours going. Kerri is right, no one likes to be told, it's just that not everyone will admit that! I don't like to admit that something I'm doing isn't working because as a perfectionist, I don't like to think that I've been barking up the wrong tree or may have caused damage to any one. This has now given me something to think about. xxSarah-leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149746029214947585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-84375734011598468652010-11-12T11:32:23.204+10:002010-11-12T11:32:23.204+10:00What a brave post Thea.

Parenting is a learning curve and it looks like you have had a big week of lessons this week.

As i said previously you are a great mummy for caring so much and having the insight to look at your own actions as well as your child's. No one is pefect and i was once told a statistic that shocked me....parents only need to do 'good' parenting 33% of the time to end up with a healthy well adjusted child. So a little learning space is allowed for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-64228067164249983452010-11-12T11:08:48.246+10:002010-11-12T11:08:48.246+10:00And this super fast level of perception and self a...And this super fast level of perception and self awareness is what makes you such a lovely Mummy. xxDiminishing Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02072304081006798910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-37150858626425329482010-11-12T10:22:38.843+10:002010-11-12T10:22:38.843+10:00You are a wonderful mum and right now am spewing I...You are a wonderful mum and right now am spewing I don't have sound at work to listen to that video!So Now What?https://www.blogger.com/profile/13009715674974259128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331972089469544815.post-86070845162476688252010-11-12T09:41:14.968+10:002010-11-12T09:41:14.968+10:00Darling heart, I haven't been following your r...Darling heart, I haven't been following your rant as I've had mad crazy couple of days, but I will tell you this:<br />NO-ONE likes to be told they're wrong. Even if I know I've done wrong, if my husband or mum calls me on it, I immediately get defensive. I will acknowledge it later, but in the moment I will clam up and defend my position to the death.<br />The fact that you can reflect now is brilliant. Well done. And I have absolutely no doubt that you, like all of us, are doing your absolute best. Parenting is fucking hard.Kerri Sackvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404421856986720832noreply@blogger.com
