hi all,
recently came across many Positive Parenting advices and it feels like as a mother we just need to hide our own feelings to handle our kid's emotion. What about the times when I feel lost and tired and overwhelmed with all the duties and still have to cope up with the defiant behavior from the kid? Anyone feels the same? Wanted to talk to someone but everyone seems to tell that I need to calm down and relax but no one takes care of the responsibilities that comes with kids. feeling really down.
