Oh honey, I feel your pain! You are not crap parents by a long long stretch. Kids are totally self centered and that's just normal. My only advice is to let them know your feelings were hurt (in an age appropriate way) because that will also teach them how to talk to people when they've let them down. It happens a lot more…

I had gotten into a bad habit of emotional eating and what helped me the most was sitting with whatever feelings were causing me to want to overeat. So first identify if it's really an emotion or if you actually hungry, then make a cup of tea or a glass of water and sit down with no distractions (except maybe a notepad in…
