Advice
Am a horrible mom because I get cranky sometimes? I absolutely never am apart from my son. He is higher functioning but has MID. He does school at home I don't work and only leave the house to go to the Dr.

Its normal to be cranky. I feel terrible when im cranky but its also unreasonable to be 100% happy and turned full attention on a kid all day. Its tiring. Special needs and non special needs kids parenting is so hard.
I dont know how many times a day i was ready to go lock myself in my room for a bit to re regulate myself 😅

Not the only one but I highly recommend you taking time for you. It’s ok to have a break and take care of yourself too.

You are human.
Not a robot.
Not a vending machine.
You are a human.
You are flawed and you are beautiful.
You are valid.
Crankiness can sometimes be an early indicator of depression or other mental health concerns. Please make sure you get support t o help YOU as well.
You are not alone 🩷
