Even if we can't stop the guilt we can be aware of it and hopefully that will make it easier. <br /><br /><br />Preemie attitude, gotta love it :DChristina Ehttp://twitter.com/Beadzoidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098377761995034171.post-83415046263142781762012-07-20T20:05:08.673+01:002012-07-20T20:05:08.673+01:00I am so glad to read this Christina because even t...I am so glad to read this Christina because even though Adam is only 16mos old, he already has a temper on him and loves to throw screaming tantrums if I ask him to do something he doesn't want to do (like have his nappy changed or remove his fingers from the power sockets) And I start by being patient and firmly but quietly correcting him, then I move on to shouting and just a couple of times, he has pushed me so far I've even smacked his legs - something I swore I would never do. And every single time he pushes those buttons I feel SO guilty because he is my post-GBS miracle who was never supposed to be here. Surely I should be treasuring his every moment and mothering him like I'm sure the Virgin Mary mothered a perfect Jesus who never gave her any attitude...... ::sigh:: Thank you for the reality check!charlotte.cheshirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098377761995034171.post-41058212749990438612012-07-20T08:15:41.004+01:002012-07-20T08:15:41.004+01:00Great post!

Gemma is just 2 and with her eating gets away with so much as we are all so pleased she wants to eat anything! I now need to try and be firmer but it is so difficult.<br />These cheeky girls got through so much because of their feistyness and fight so we have to be thankful for it.I worry we won't be firm enough and she will be an awful teenager. it really is a challenge.<br />Xgemgemmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286852601567415428noreply@blogger.com
