I also think you need to relax, oy!
The corner guard and social story are all great ideas. A mother time-out is also great idea. Maybe you can gather a stay home mommy club that mommies rotate child watching and timeout.
Before having children, my thought on being a parent was extremely simple and rosy. Babies appear so cute, so lovable, I dreamed how nice it will feel to have a baby! But the reality is too different, way too many chores plus the worries for autism depleted all those good feeling of being a parent! As I said before, I worried so much that one day, I will run out of my love to them. How terrible I will be if I run out of my love, my patience, and my sanity?
I have learned to adjust.
I have invited tutor to do teaching for my daughter. I have hired maid to clean my house. I have turned into God for prayer. I started to have my own "tea time" every weekend, when I watch TV, drama, and movies, when no one can bother me. (of course, my children are old enough, they can play by themselves safely without me, though I have to have one ear and one eye on them during my "tea time").
I think it is working. By working less myself, I actually feel I can love them more. |
