I've just deleted my original post in an attempt to be more positive.
I'm very low tonight, both of mine (4.5 and nearly 2) are pushing me so far beyond my limits at the moment.
So instead of posting my rant of misery, I wondered if anyone felt like joining me in choosing one thing to be less crap at at time?
Tomorrow, I am going to begin by taking it all less seriously. I'm going to try really really hard not to shout at all (this is difficult because DS is deaf at the moment and often does things which are not safe or bloody annoying but I'm going to find ways around it if I can). Essentially I'm going to try to take a step back and instead of letting poor behaviour bring me down, I'm going to try to isolate problems so that they can be dealt with. I might even make a list. I like lists.
(This evening was so bad I never want to see my neighbours again. I'm quiet, smart and even tempered in real life. Tonight our house must have sounded like a war zone. Or the screaming toddler equivalent. It's shit and it has to change).
