It's a long day with my two, either me or do is up from 5.45 and come 7pm, I really can't wait for them to be in bed.
I worry that I don't have the patience other people seem to with their children.
I have a 2 year old and an 8 month old, I love them to bits but they are exhausting.
I can't talk about how I really feel in real life as I had a silent 12 week miscarriage 4 weeks ago and people will wonder why on earth I'm trying for a third since I'm such a bad mum. I just see me as a mum of 3. I can't wait for the days when we can all get into the car without needing nappies and huge bag of tricks, nappies, water, wipes, snacks, books, toys, iPad. I just want to enjoy my children and go to the cinema, out for lunch, to the farm, anything, days out without someone throwing a tantrum.
I do most of the childcare when I'm not a work as my dh works weekends. We went TV shopping today and my ds went berserk as it was too bright in the TV shop
I cook nutritious food for ds (eldest) but it's a total lottery as to,whether he will eat it,
I'm a rambling idiot, sorry.
My ds did someone so naughty today in the middle of a shop and everyone was staring. I Wonder what I'm doing wrong, why he isn't behaving like other people's children seem to.
I live with the mantra "don't parent the way you were parented" but I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.
Is it normal to be so overwhelmed at times?
I just can't wait for my two to go to bed, surely a good mum wouldn't think this?
