Its OK to have a total mom meltdown - Today's Parent

It’s OK to have a total mom meltdown —

under the circumstances. But at the end of a very long day, in what is also proving to be a very long year, I just had no capacity left. As a parent, I can usually roll with many, many punches, and I generally consider myself pretty easy-going, but this time, the overwhelming stress really got to me.

Looking back on my meltdown, I think I’ve decided that it’s OK to be overwhelmed—and to show it. Everyone loses it a little, from time to time. I’m sure my girls will eventually do what my siblings and I did and forewarn each other when “Mommy’s in a mood,” and that’s fine. Because eventually they will also come to the same realization as I have: Moms and dads have limited bandwidth, and sometimes bandwidth and parenting don’t match up. It’s in those moments that we yell across the school parking lot, or the grocery store, or at that birthday party, sure.
