Bad day

Yesterday was a bad parenting day. I love my son, no doubt about it. But I am an individual and I need a bit of time on my own as well. It's been about a month now since his holidays started. Everyday I have been taking care of him from morning till bedtime. His nap time is when I am a bit free. But with no maid and no one else to help I have all the chores at home pending till he is asleep. So even that time is not for me.

Yesterday his nap time was cut short and he woke up soon after he fell asleep. He didn't want to go back to sleep. So, I had to entertain him for a longer period. Since he is a very active kid, I was exhausted by 6 in the eve. I took him to the veg shop where I had to pay for the damage done by him....phew....he keeps running around and managing him outside home is very difficult. Even after returning home, he was still bored. He kept on pestering me. I had vessels to be washed, dinner to be made and a very dirty house. After a while, I couldn't take it anymore and I started screaming at him. He got scared. He was bored and wanted me to play with him. But with so many pending jobs how am I to satisfy him? Finally his dad came at 8.30. But it was atleast  9.00 before he could devote time to his son.....I am just waiting for this period to get over.....
