I have a four year old son whom I'm completly in love with..today however I just wished I couldve been alone.. The thought made me feel guilty! We all were exhausted from going to the SJ SHARKS game last night and getting home very late.. Because we were so tired he was being a brat and my patiece was low.. I know it's normal to be annoyed at you kid(s) from time to time, but is it normal to wish you could be without them on mother's day? Any saracastic comments leave for another post especially if you don't have kids..

    I felt the same way! I also have a 4 year old and I didn't get to have the day to myself. the day after mother's day, I felt kinda angry that I didn't catch a little break. But I felt guitly for feeling bitter about it!

    I've known a few moms who scheduled 'mommy's weekend' around mothers day. It was a group of friends who all had kids, loved them dearly but needed a break. It was their mothers day gift from thier families.

    My husband usually takes our kids and goes to see his Mom who lives an hour away on Mother's Day. I stay at home...by choice. It is the only time all year where I have an entire day with nothigto do and no one to please! I love it.

    Very normal as I speak from experience also ! Does not mean you don't love them , everyone needs a little alone time , just to nap or whatever without being disturbed and then your recharged and ready to go again ..... For a while ! But we all get tired and run down and just need a little time all alone to build our energy back up !! Hang in there !!

    That's normal! Everyone just deserves a break. Don't feel guilty, girl! You work hard!
