I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old and I'm 38 weeks pregnant. I am being a terrible mother to them at the moment. My OH works shifts and I am alone with them a lot, 5 year old has just started school and 2 year old is, lets say, taking being a 2 year old seriously and is hanging off my last nerve. I am tired, sore, skint, and unable to bring them anywhere so we are stuck in my tiny house with no garden. House is undergoing renovations to try and squeeze in new baby and is a total mess.
All they do is watch cartoons, mess around and listen to me shout at them. I'm not even feeding them properly, they are now intimately acquainted with every kind of frozen pizza known to Tesco.
I just want to go to bed and hide under the cover and let someone else deal with them. But there isn't anyone else.
Not sure if I'm looking for advice, a kick up the arse or just a vent.
