Worst Parent Ever?...Don't be so hard on yourself!

The Mommy Meltdown

Your little one has her share of tantrums, but you're probably guilty of that too. Totally losing your temper after playing another round of "Why is the sky blue?" or trying to talk on the phone is pretty much par for the course when it comes to parenting. Kids know how to push you to the brink, leaving you a guilty mess afterward.

How to deal: Everyone loses their temper, especially with curious, hyper and obnoxious kids on board. Excuse yourself for a breather when your temper flares. If you do end up yelling at your little one, quickly apologize and give her a moment or two of one-on-one attention. This shows her that while it's okay to get mad, it's important to make it right again. Chances are, all she wanted was a few minutes of face-time anyway.
