JasonG Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 Although I really hate to admit it, I can relate. With my youngest just a year old, and my oldest three, I am still in the midst of the sleep deprived craziness. It will do strange and unsettling things to a person (at least me), and although I haven't hurt my kids, I know exactly where it comes from. I would not be able to cast the first stone for sure. We all make mistakes- some are more horrible than others, unfortunately. Quote

It is the toughest job I have ever loved and I can be an intolerant bastard son of a bitch. If anything those moments of frustration have brought out of me a sudden calm and patience I never knew I possessed. Quote

I regret to say that I had the urge once to shake my little Liam. Best choice I ever made was to put him down and walk out the room. memory of that moment still sickens me. Tyson, I suspect that you are a better than most of us. Either that or you are estrogen dominate. Quote
Tyson.g Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) Tyson, I suspect that you are a better than most of us. Either that or you are estrogen dominate. It must be the moobs and the estrogen in the soymilk! I am not saying there are not frustrations and trying times, I just have never had the recreaction that Layback is attributing to all parents.
