3 Ways to Stop Beating Yourself Up and Be a Better Parent

By Michelle Gale

Most parents struggle with feelings of guilt over thoughts they are not doing a good enough job for their kids. One study from the UK found parents feel guilty at least 23 times a week!

From feeling guilty for putting our work before our kids to feeling guilty for giving in too easily to their demands because we’re exhausted, these feelings are hard to escape. When they boil over and we yell at our kids, we end up feeling even more guilty.

Yelling at my children makes me feel like the worst mom on the planet. Energy builds. I snap, raise my voice, and immediately I feel ashamed. Our connection to each other is lost and I pine to find my way back to myself and to them.

That’s why I enlisted my little guy’s help.

At the tender age of 4, Tyler had a far greater ability to see when I was about to lose her cool than I did! So I asked him if he would let me know whenever he noticed me becoming upset, suggesting he tell me I needed to stop and take a breath.

We made an agreement that whenever he uttered the words “Breathe, Momma” I would immediately stop. There would be no overriding what he was asking, no matter how powerfully the tide of emotion rose within me.

Hearing his little voice remind me to “Breathe, Momma” was precisely what I needed to hear.  This simple practice of getting Tyler to help me check in with myself became a powerful tool for change. By stopping me in my tracks before I raised my voice, Tyler enabled me to begin to notice what was happening inside me that triggered my outbursts.

This is an example of how mindfulness can help us become more self-aware and increase our self-control and connection with our families.

The word mindfulness is often misused in popular culture, so I think it’s important to understand what it does not mean. Being mindful does not mean that you are calm all the time. It’s just as easy to be aware of your anxiety, anger or fear as it is to be all Zen-like and relaxed.

I define mindfulness as simply compassionate, non-judgmental awareness of our inner and outer moment-to-moment experience. As such, mindfulness encompasses all of our experiences — the good and the bad, the anxious moments as well as the calm ones.

Here are some steps you can take to help you become more mindful in those messy moments of parental angst:

1. Pay Attention to Your Body: When you feel under stress, take a deep breath, exhale slowly and focus on what your body is feeling. You might notice how you clench your jaw, or how your throat or muscles feel tight, or feel your heart pounding. Noticing and naming the tension you feel may not make it go away, but it puts you back in control and allows you to:

2. Interrupt Your Pattern: Staying aware of your feelings can be hard. Maybe, like me, you need to enlist the help of your child or your spouse to gently tell you when you need to take a breather. It helps if you start taking intentional breaths on a regular basis throughout your day. Repetition is the key. Focus as you inhale, as well as when you exhale. Another idea: join me in welcoming frustration. Next time you are annoyed, smile if you can and say, “Oh, there you are again frustration! What are you here to teach me today?” I’ve developed quite a relationship with my anger and frustration, however, I have learned to avoid letting them lead whenever possible.

3. You Still Blow It. Now What? Have some compassion for yourself. Instead of feeling forever horrible about needing to apologize over and over again, I took the step of accepting myself as someone who yelled sometimes. In this acceptance of reality, real change began.

For me, acceptance meant that whenever I yelled, I did my best to pause and take a breath as soon as possible while also getting a grip on my tendency to feel awful about myself. I practiced not thinking of myself as a “bad mother.”

I don’t wish to imply that I let myself off the hook when my energy manifested itself in bad behavior. Accepting myself, including my crummy behavior, meant that these things were no longer moral issues, but a chance for me to learn to respond more productively.

When you do this, you may be surprised by how your family responds. It takes courage and daring to embrace your icky parts. One awesome side effect is your children will learn to do the same. For a child to grow up in a household where everyone is willing to embrace these baffling parts of themselves is an incredible gift.

How Sick is Too Sick For School? Turns Out, We Don’t All Agree

by Red Tricycle

As a working parent, you may need to make a swift decision in the morning about whether to send your sick child to school or skip work to stay home with them. While the question might be easy to answer for some, many working parents have differing opinions. A new national poll of 1,442 parents from the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health shows the top factors in parents’ decision to keep an ill child home from school.

Here are some of their findings:

  • 75% of parents have reported using at least one sick day a year to stay home with their child.
  • Most parents (80%) are not likely to send a child to school with diarrhea, but have less agreement about vomiting (58%) or a slight fever but acting normally (49%).
  • About 16% of parents will have a child stay home if their only symptom is red watery eyes but no fever, and fewer parents (12%) will have a child stay if they experience just a runny nose, dry cough with no fever.

“Parents often have to make a judgment call about whether their child’s sickness warrants staying home,” says lead author Gary Freed, M.D., M.P.H. “We found that the major considerations were whether attending school could negatively impact a child’s health or the health of classmates.”

Other than the risk of getting peers sick and the kid’s current health state, other coordination comes into play.

  • 18% of parents say not being able to find someone to stay home with their sick child is a very important factor. This is less of an issue as children get older, and 32% of parents allowing older children to stay home alone when sick.
  • 11% of parents cite not wanting to miss work as very important

It’s suggested that a phone call or visit to your kid’s health care provider is made before deciding whether a child stays home or goes to school.

Are you a working parent? What’s your usual plan when the little one is sick? Let us know in the comments below!

10 Parents Confess: The ONE Thing They Regret Saying to Their Kids

by Sara Olsher

Once you make a promise to a kid, they will hold you to it. And if you say something you regret, they’ll never let you live it down. Wouldn’t it be great if we could take “backsies” on some of the things we say? While that’s sadly not an option, at the very least we can laugh ourselves – and other parents, thanks to Reddit, where users are sharing the one thing they really regret telling their kids. Our favorites are below:

1. ImNotSureThatsOK owes his daughter enough to buy a car.

When my daughter was around 8, I told her that a lot of the words that Daddy used were grown up words and that she shouldn’t use them herself. Then she worked out what they were, and she said that I shouldn’t use them either. I agreed, and in a fit of noble intention, agreed to the swear jar; a dollar a swear, to be all paid on her 18th birthday. I owe my 16 year old daughter about $14500. She has kept meticulous records, including a signed agreement from the year 2009.

2. BuyTheHammerOfThor created the myth of the Dummy Fairy, coming soon to a theater near you.

I told my son that the Dummy Fairy came and took all his dummies away because he was too big for them now, and that the fairy would give them to new babies who need them. He was terrified that the fairy would take ALL of his stuff and give it away. He also was really angry at babies.

3. Wait until Estrogyn’s son hears about the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

When my son was little (3) and an absolute terror, one time I pointed down a road that we never go down, and said, “That’s the road the bad kids go.” When he would misbehave I would say, “Do we need to go down the bad kids road?” And he would instantly get in line. Until he didn’t. Then I had to follow through with my threat, drive him down the bad kids road, and there was NOTHING THERE. He must have been five or six at the time but even then the symbolism was not lost on him. Go down the bad kids road and nothing really happens…

4. eatelectricity exposed his child to the worst little demon of all.

“Sure, we can watch Caillou…”

5. DarkForceDisco with the P90X games.

Not a parent but used to work with kids. I used to do P90X and one of Tony Horton’s famous lines was “don’t say you can’t, say you presently struggle with.” I remembered that term. Worked at a tutoring center. When one kid kept repeating can’t, I told him to not say he can’t, but that he presently struggled with something. Explained to him what it meant and everything. Meant to say it as a ~motivator~ and that when you say you can’t, it’s something that cannot be done ever (can’t grow wings, can’t be 500 feet tall, etc.) Cue him substituting “presently struggling with” instead of “can’t” for everything. Screaming “BUT I PRESENTLY STRUGGLE WITH!!! I PRESENTLY STRUGGLE WITH!!!” At one point he forgot the words and it became things like “pleasantly acquaintance with” and other madness. After that, I just decided to tell the kids to just not say can’t. Last time I try to be inspirational.

6. Kindredbond knows that everyone ends up in therapy one way or another.

Years ago when our first son was around two years old, we would occasionally hang out in the garage. We had tons of toys that he could push around and enjoy. But anytime he happened to get too close to the street, we would press the car lock button which would beep a couple times. We told him the car was mad that he was too close to the street. He would then haul arse back up the driveway yelling “Car Mad, Car Mad!!” I expect to pay psychiatrist bills due to this. Yes, yes I do.

7. TooOldToDie81 is keeping track.

Slight [sic] roll reversal here but as i am now a parent i can put myself in my dads shoes here pretty well. When i was 15 and my father was 50 he went on a rant one night about how opiates arent that bad if you control your dosage and have a constant supply and went on to proclaim that upon his 70th birthday he would begin using heroin, because “f**k it”. This particular moment stuck with me. Now, 20 years later (4 days ago) my father turned 70. He has received more messages from me in the last 4 days than the previous 4 years combined. needle emjoi , needle emoji, waits five minutes “dad are you alive? do i need to send someone over to check if you OD’d? trap meme, pill emoji, needle emoji. Honestly its the most fun ive had with him in years. Not sure how long it will take me to get bored of it but boy i can hear his eyes rolling from 500 miles away.

8. 707RiverRat suffers for their sins.

“Guess what?! Chicken butt!” My daughter says this 30+ times a day now.

9. Fat_Panda_Sandoval’s daughter knows the secret to happiness.

One time, I told my four-year-old daughter that I was making Mommy a cocktail because it would make her happy. Now every time my wife gets mad, the girl says, ‘Mommy, you need a cocktail.

10. Hopefully there aren’t any pitbulls in phurtive’s neighborhood.

I told my three-year-old, who completely trusted me, never to run from a dog or they will chase you. A 100-pound giant Rottweiler mix was charging at her at full speed, and she looked him in the eye and didn’t budge. Bowled her over. He was friendly, just an idiot. I never got that level of trust from her again.

What have you regretted saying to the kids? Tell us in the comments below!
