I understand your situation. Caring for two young children while working can be stressful. Your daughter's eating problem is common at this age. Do not force her to eat. Offer small meals and stay calm. When you feel angry, take a few deep breaths and walk away for a minute if it is safe. If your anger happens often or is difficult to control

You seem to be under significant stress balancing work and caring for two young children. Your anger may be a sign of caregiver burnout rather than being a “bad parent.”
Try to:
* Stay calm and avoid reacting in the heat of the moment.
* Set regular meal and sleep routines for your child, and don’t force-feed.
* Take short breaks and ask family members for support whenever possible.
* If anger is frequent, overwhelming, or affecting your relationship with your children, consult a psychologist or psychiatrist for stress management and parenting guidance.
You’re not alone, and with the right support, this can improve.

First, please give yourself grace: what you are experiencing is parental burnout and emotional overload, not a failure as a mother. Balancing a job while caring for a 3.5-year-old toddler and a 1.3-year-old infant is mentally and physically exhausting.
At 3.5 years old, refusing food and asserting "No" is a normal developmental milestone. Toddlers use food refusal to test autonomy. However, when this normal behavior collides with chronic exhaustion, your nervous system interprets her crying or refusal as an immediate threat, triggering intense anger. Resolving this requires shifting the mealtime dynamic and lowering your overall stress burden.
Next Steps
Consult a Tamil-Speaking Mental Health Professional: Since you feel most comfortable in Tamil, scheduling an online teleconsultation with a Tamil-speaking psychiatrist or counselor will allow you to express your emotions without language barriers and receive tailored coping strategies.
Evaluate Growth with a Pediatrician: Have a pediatrician assess your 3.5-year-old's growth chart. Knowing she is gaining weight and growing normally despite her picky eating will alleviate mealtime anxiety.
Shift the Mealtime Approach: Avoid force-feeding, bribing, or showing frustration. Present healthy food choices, let her choose how much to eat, and calmly end the meal after 20–25 minutes.
Health Tips
Anger is an indicator that your personal reserves are depleted. Suppressing these feelings out of guilt will only increase stress—seeking help early protects your wellbeing and your relationship with your children.
Use the "Pause and Step Away" Rule: When you feel anger rising during a tantrum, step back safely, take 5 slow, deep breaths, and let the peak adrenaline pass before responding.
Delegate Responsibilities: Speak with your spouse or family to share daily childcare and household tasks so you can get dedicated rest time each day.
