Today my evening has gone like this:
6pm bath time, dd (14months) currently bath phobic so I tried getting in the bath with her, she still got in a terrible state (screaming, shaking) so both got out. Ds (3.5) screamed because he didn't want to get out of the bath. Got everyone in pjs, tried to do stories, was drowned out by crying. Dh got home at 7. Both of us really hungry so took everyone downstairs and made our dinner. Tried to eat, both dcs climbing all over me trying to share. Ended up with my plate smashed on the floor. Ds has been screaming for 20 mins, dh is with him. I'm with dd, she won't go to sleep.
My evenings are always a similar chaos, I never get any time with dh, and I'm constantly knackered. I'm also recovering from serious illness and have just gone back to work. I've always been horrified by the thought of 'crying techniques' but they've been crying for hours anyway! What do I do? Please help me I'm getting it all wrong!!!
