A mom posted on Reddit's parenting subreddit that she's becoming 'triggered' by her own child while using the 'gentle parenting' model. Experts revealed the importance of discipline.
The woman revealed that she's burned out from"coming up with compromises" and"turning everything into a fun game" — and biting her tongue when her young son"gets hurt doing something I asked him not to do."
She added,"Gentle parenting doesn’t come naturally to me, so every time [her child] yells or screams, I consciously have to work hard not to get triggered myself, and I’m just exhausted." She also said she's beginning to feel"a massive lack of empathy when my child is screaming the house down or [whining] or demanding things from me."
said that if a parent isn’t taking care of her own mental health first, then parenting willpower"will only last so long." "But unlike her," she continued,"as a professional nanny I already had a decade of caregiving under my belt."
