It's not easy to stay 'in control' all the time - especially as the parent of a young child. I am so happy to have a community of parents to bounce off these notions, even though it's just a group on social media... Because now I know that so many of us have had the unfortunate experience of being sleep deprived and yelling at our helpless infants, or trying to multi-task when our toddler keeps screaming the same crazy phrase in the hope that will get our full attention. Trying to regulate our own emotions as parents is really tough...
