And im at the end of my rope.
I can see that they are listening to me but its like their eyes glaze over. Dp says i nag alot and id really like to change that it gets me down too but noone listens to me. The dcs have piles of clothes in their room to go away, just gone upstairs and one of thems is scattered literally all over the floor screwed up so ive ironed them for nothing. I asked d to tidy her room because it was a state she went up for an hour came down said it was then has kept her door shut. ive been in to check if there was washing and its even worse, chocolate wrappers everywhere, crisp wrapper, millions of cut up pieces of paper and a hoarde of dirty clothes.
It takes them hours to eat tea and they wont eat half the things we eat so dp runs teatime like a flaming cafe ( 2/3 are sc and will say they dont like/wont eat)
they are always arguing and i mean constantly getting at each other over pointless crap and lying to try and get out of trouble.
Dp is a good dad and i love the bones of him but he doesnt help me tackle and solve anything he just shouts like a fishwife when things havent been done/they are whining.
We are pretty skint lately and with it being the holidays it has been grim because they are all bored witless. i take them on walks, to the park ect but then the silly arguing starts over whos not playing a made up game right, dp shouts and we end up worse off than before we went out!
someone tell me it will even out and get better or give me some tips or how better to get things done without everything turning into a drama. Am so tired and worn down :(
