In this brief YouTube monologue, parent coach Camilla McGill acknowledges a common paradox many parents experience: they love their children deeply and would do anything for them, yet moments of intense frustration can lead them to say hurtful things like "Go away and leave me alone! I can't stand it." She normalizes these feelings, suggesting they are widespread among parents, and invites viewers to respond with a "yes" in the comments to foster a sense of shared experience and relief that they are not alone.

This might seem strange to you, but it is so true. And as a parent coach, I hear parents tell me this all the time. I wonder if you agree. You love your kids so much, you'd do anything for them, and you feel so frustrated by them sometimes that you shout something like, 'Go away and leave me alone! I can't stand it!' Is this you? Drop 'yes' below because I think other parents will be so relieved to hear that they're not alone.
