I have two children - dd is 4 and ds is 1 Dd is a v talkative, spirited hyper girl, but I just can't cope with her - I feel like my head is going to explode. She is at nursery 3 days a week and with me 2 days. I have had a pretty shitty year - my dad died in the summer and my son up until quite recently has been an appalling sleeper. He still gets up at 5am - but that is a huge improvemnet from 4 times a night. Dd gets the brunt of my frustration and anger and I feel like I want to push her away the whole time. I feel terrible for saying this but a lot of the time I just want to be with my ds. On top of all this I have just returned to work part time and am finding it really hard being away from my son.
My dp is v good with the children and is supportive, but he really does not understand how crap I feel.
Any advice for coping would be appreciated
