Yeah unfortunately yes, just a while ago , I was teaching my son his homework's . I was so tired because i came all the way from the office (overtime) so i am so tired when i arrived at the house. After eating i visited the notebooks of my son then asked him to do his homework. But my son it seems, he doesnt pay attention to me or to what i am teaching so when i asked him and he asked me what to do , I just blurted out " are you stupid or something ?" but it was too late i already blurted that out that i know he was so hurt of what i said . Damaged was done . How about you have said something recently that you really wish you hadnt????

don't beat up om yourself over this. It happens in the most families at one time or another. Just ask him to forgive you for being so senselessly critical and explain how tired and stressed you were at the time it happened. Children are very forgiving and I am sure that he will forgive you. All uyou did was to show him that you are human! No, mothers aren't perfect but we just do the best we can moment by moment. Forgive yourself too. all will be well.

I spoke with my mom few days ago over the phone (I'm currently in the US but originally I'm from Croatia) so thats why. Before I started talking to her something in my suite was pissing me off (it doesnt matter what) so we were talking something about me and she made a silly comment and I just snapped "Are you crazy?" Few second after I realized what I said but like you "damage was done". Thank God I have the best mom in the world, she understands me so...but yeah I wish i haven't said that!
