Spanking!!!

oh, I want to SCREAM!!! so I probably should NOT post this but here I go. I'm nesting right...I'm nearly 30 weeks pregnant and can't help myself. I spent all last evening cleaning and reorganizing the boys closet, all evening I kidd you not. Just to turn around tonight and in the blink of an eye they dragged EVERYTHING back out, even the daggum' shoe rack..what on earth??? I spanked...ooohh yes I did and I am just sick now because I can't stand to spank my kids but it was all I could do. I tend to feel so unappreciated by them especially at times like these. What do I do? Did I overreact? seriously, I mean I doubt I even left a mark and they prob won't even remember my rant in the morning because although I think I am being scary, it never seems to sink in so apparently I am not. It feels like all I ever do is clean and clean and clean. AARGH, I'm just so tempted to not do it for a week and see how they feel about it but then I remember they are only 3 & 4 and they would absolutely LOVE it...oh, what to do :( I guess my main point is I try very hard not to spank my kid but rather talk through our mishap and figure out solutions but tonight was the last straw and their booties got it..am I out of control?

No worries! I know you feel bad, but seriously, they won't remember and i understand how frustrating it all can be! I'm sorry-but it will get better (as you know). Good Luck with your nesting :)!

No, Coty, you're not out of control-you're normal. You poor thing! I can bet that was just so frusterating when they pulled out everything again. grrr...I get mad for your sake just thinking about it! As for the spanking, if you're still feeling guilty about it, just apologize to them. That's what I do. (((hugs)))
