Feel Like I Get the World's Worst Mommy Award Today....
Last night I think I earned this award. DS, 17 months old, was throwing a MAJOR fit while I was just trying to change his diaper. Kicking me, twisting, screaming at me, flipping over, Just awful. SOOOOOOOO.....
I spanked him on the butt (diaper was halfway on so no bare skin at all got spanked). I feel terrible about this.... I don't know if it's because this is the first time he ever got spanked really, or if it's because I lost my patience or what but I feel awful........
I don't know what I"m looking for, if it's flames, hugs, advice, BTDT stories or what but I feel TERRIBLE....... Am I a monster?

Re: Feel Like I Get the World's Worst Mommy Award Today....
Aw, don't feel bad! Just wait until he can talk... Last week, my older DD, who is 3, went out of control(screaming, crying, etc.) at White Post Farm because I yelled at her for pushing her 16 month old sister off of what she was playing on. She threw herself down on her stomach and so I pinched her bottom to force her to turn around and apologize. She then started shouting that I "hurt her hiney!" She then proceeded to tell all of the animals why she had been crying--"Mommy hurt my hiney!" Yeah, talk about feeling like a monster!! So that's my BTDT story--and trust me, I have many!
I'm sure most of us have been there!!!

Re: Feel Like I Get the World's Worst Mommy Award Today....
Thank you all so much! I just am so down about it today. I can't stop thinking about getting home to hug him and make sure he doesn't hate me now....... 
Sounds crazy even typing it but that's how I feel.
