Like me, you probably imagined snuggling up for bedtime stories, giggling at the dinner table, and watching your child grow with love and confidence.
But instead you’re walking on eggshells.
One wrong word, one tiny "no," and suddenly—a meltdown.
Screaming, crying, refusal to listen. You try to stay calm, but the frustration builds.
Some days, you feel like you’re trapped in an endless cycle of battles. Getting out the door, mealtime, bedtime, pretty much everything turns into a fight.
And you hate it. Not because you don’t love your child, but because you’re exhausted. You wonder, “Why does it feel this hard? Is it just me?”
It’s not just you. And it doesn’t have to be this way.
