welcome to bad parenting 101

lesson #36: be sure to yell. loudly and frequently. (optional followup: berate yourself)
lesson #85: when your child is getting on your very last nerve park her in front of a dvd. program your brain to ignore.

the thing about being a single mom is that when i'm being a good mom, i'm a better mom than i ever was when r was in the home. but when i'm being a shitty mom, i have no one to turn to and say: okay, it's your turn, i need a break. p has been in a "mood" the last few days. she's being whiny and way too aggressive with 'renzo. i yelled at her last night when she hurt him and then felt so guilty afterwards. i know that it's me that needs to learn not to yell when i'm frusterated, but i get so pissed at r for putting me in this situation. this is not a one person job.
