person A: I yelled at my two-year-old nephew the other day_comma_ because he wasn't paying attention and spilled something_comma_ made a huge mess. I've been yelling at him off and on recently since he started living with my family for a short period of time. It's so hard to keep my patience in the moment... But then later on I feel so terrible that I can't be a better human being to him.
person B: I think it's an adjustment you have to work through. Toddlers can really test anyone's patience!
person A: Yeah. I'm trying to handle myself better. It's hard when you're arguing with the child about the same thing_comma_ every day_comma_ day after day. It feels like running into a wall. You want to teach them_comma_ but they don't listen_comma_ or they don't show improvement. And obviously it's because he's two and he's just going to naturally take time to develop. But in the meantime_comma_ I struggle to not overreact.
person B: It's really hard_comma_ especially being thrown into an environment with a two year old and not having them for a consistent basis from when they were younger up until now.
