i yelled at my two year old nephew the other day, because he was not paying attention and spilled something, made a huge mess. i have been yelling at him off and on recently since he started living with my family for a short period of time. it is so hard to keep my patience in the moment... but then later on i feel so terrible that i cannot be a better human being to him.
it is really hard, especially being thrown into an environment with a two year old and not having them for a consistent basis from when they were younger up until now.
yeah. i am trying to handle myself better. it is hard when you are arguing with the child about the same thing, every day, day after day. it feels like running into a wall. you want to teach them, but they do not listen, or they do not show improvement. and obviously it is because he is two and he is just going to naturally take time to develop. but in the meantime, i struggle to not overreact.
