I lost it with my almost 3yo today. I mean really lost it. Screamed at her at the top of my voice whilst driving. She didn't even cry she was so shocked, she just whimpered and looked so so sad.
I reached breaking point today. After a particularly awful nursery drop off where my DD howled and screamed and clung to me, begging me not to leave her, it was not a good start to the day.
Then my 10 month old was whingy all morning with his teeth, the house is a tip, I have so much to do before Christmas and everything has just got on top of me.
I don't exist anymore. I am just mummy. I am not the high flying academic anymore. I spend my day cleaning and tidying and mopping up sick. I have no life of my own, everything revolves around the children and I get no thanks for it at all.
All those years we tried to have children but couldn't and the tears we shed over all our lost babies. Why aren't I happy? I have everything I wanted. However, in return I also got to be fat, unhealthy, have no interests or time away from the children, I drink too much.
I have done everything all the baby books and parenting sites said to make your child happy and confident and it's got me nowhere. All the groups and classes I've taken them to and I now have a DD with speech delay who's behind her peers and is looking to never settle at nursery. Where did I go so wrong?
