FFS another morning from hell. I promise myself every night that I will be calm and not shout.
DSs take ages to get dressed (don't want to get out of bed either because they've stayed awake too long despite being constantly told to go to sleep), then take ages to eat breakfast, then have to be told 10 times to put books, snacks etc in bags. Then have to be told 10 times to put shoes, coats etc on. Then have to be told 10 times to pick up bags and get in car. Then have to be told 10 times to put seatbelts on and stop fighting.
DD always makes us wait for her because she always has to run upstairs and 'find something' when we are all in the car or she has forgotten to brush teeth etc.
Is it any wonder that I lose it and start shouting or AIBU! It's like a bloody groundhog day every day. To cap it all, both DSs have lost the hats and scarves that I bought them at the weekend (2nd set so far this winter) - and DS2 has lost the hood of his brand new coat.
Worst thing is, I then spend the day feeling guilty and like shit that I sent them to school after ranting and raving at them when I want them to go school feeling happy and loved.
Should getting the DCs to school on time mean that I put myself at risk of stress-induced heart attack (cos that's what it feels like sometimes)?
