I am having such a hard time at the moment.
Bare in mind, i am usually ok to handle all of this. There is just a lot going on in my life atm.
I have 4 kids between 3 and 10. I have no way of getting a break.
I have a short time while my youngest is at nursery, but it takes me ages to get home. By the time i have had a cuppa and squared up,its time to head back to get him again.
By this point, he is tired but refuses point blank to have a nap, and so becomes a little more whingy and demanding.
After this battle - it is then time for the school run. Which LO decides to go as slow as poss, which results in me pulling him along which pulls my back.
By the time we get there, his tiredness gets the better of him. Collect child 1 and when waiting for child 2, LO decides its time to kick off and lay on the floor refusing to move. Picking him up pulls my back further and then i have to keep hold of him while waiting for child 3.
Cries all the way home, and deliberately ignores. Demanding that i get off him and things so he can run off. Which sends me in a panic.
By the time we get home i am stressed to bits.
I am fed up of being stressed when i finally have all my kids back home.
I want to be happy and calm for them coming home.
I feel a break is what i need, but i have no idea how to get one!
So i wondered if any of you had any tips? On a break or just handling the stress better.
I have even thought of anti ds as im really struggling atm
