Frustration

I am officially the worst mummy in the world. Today I lost the plot. I was working on some maths and Isabella didn't understand the easiest of problems. I got so frustrated and shouted and made her cry. I am so embarrassed by my behaviour. I spent the rest of the day saying sorry to her and she spent the rest of the day saying "Its alright mummy, I forgive you." I have called lots of friends telling them how horrible I am.

I have spoken to a fellow home schooler and the advice I have been given is to close the book and do something completely different. So I am going to listen to this advice tomorrow.

It can be very difficult being calm all the time and understanding. It is a huge lesson to learn. I asked her which school she would like to go back to when she returns into education and she said "But you are homeschooling me until I am 14" At least she can't hate me that much!
