[...] I’m not saying that all problems are easily solved because I’ve got such massive brainpower and a huge, unerring heart. I make lots and lots of mistakes every single day, and some are whoppers. [...]

I believe most parents have a side to “Hyde”. We all can get dysregulated emotionally because that is what happens with our children (because they are trying to learn it). Guess who they are trying to learn it from? Yeah, us. It is said 90% of parenting is what we do not what we say. Although I like that you apologized for losing your temper, something that traditional parenting says not to do. So, when did my “Hyde” show up? I’ve got children with sensory processing challenges, so we don’t go long before they get dysregulated and then I do.

Born2Shop: I love your last line.

And other moms? Thanks for letting me know I’m not the only one with something to Hyde.

Oh Lori! You made me laugh out loud when I read this. I can picture it perfectly. My son is ten and I have soooo been there! Sometimes I think, What would Mr & Mrs Huxtable do? They always handled everything so creative and calmly on The Cosby Show! lol

Thanks for sharing and reminding us that even if we have moments where we aren’t perfect parents, it doesn’t mean we aren’t Super Moms.

I’d likely have done the same. We haven’t had any major incidents -yet. But my son is only 14 months old.

I am usually calm, cool and collected, but I’ve been “Mama Hyde” several times in my mothering career…some I’m not proud of and some that make me laugh (now)!

What I find amazing is that I can’t imagine letting anyone or anything get to me that much at work, and yet a 6 year old can bring me to my knees.

I’ve learned some of the most humbling lessons in my parenting career…and both me and the kids have survived and are possibly better for it (I hope). At least they know Mommy has a limit and she is human!

I’d SOOOO have done that, and probably worse…
