Today I was overloaded with work at home and I expected my 17 month old son to co-operate... I had to do cooking, washing clothes, cleaning bathrooms, dirty dishes.  All piled up for two days. Then the biggest task for the day was to deal with the baby and  related works. We had started his potty training this week and I was rushing him to the bathroom each time to avoid accidents, inbetween my work. At some point I got too busy with my work and forgot about the baby in the birthday suit. By which time my little one had managed to make a big mess on the new furniture. I lost my temper like I had never before and spanked my little one.  He is a tough kid. He cried for a little while and then still came and gave me a hug and kiss. I've been feeling so miserable since the time I hurt him. He is actually such a cutie pie but, a moment of anger and frustration caused all this to happen. I feel like I'm a bad mommy. I pray God Have Mercy on me for doing this to my innocent little angel.

Have you gone through any such situations? If yes how did you overcme your guilt?
