I'm not going to win Mother of the Year, ever, but definitely not for this post I know.
I've a 1 and 2.11 year old and while there have been some nice elements of Christmas actually there were none most of it was flipping horrendous and hard work.
Not helped by the fact that I've had 6 weeks of them being sick with one thing and another. Both of them have horrendous coughs, no treatment required according to GP, but I'm getting no sleep as I'm worrying about them coughing in their sleep and choking.
AIBU to say I miss my old Christmases? The ones where I could watch what I wanted on to, eat and drink what I wanted, lounge about?
Christmas Day was all about dragging my two to grandparents, they were raging as we were late and after it all my son wouldn't eat anything anyway as he wasn't feeling well.
Particularly my eldest child I find needs constant entertaining, never happy to sot and play by himself, he is extremely demanding. Both dh and I feel we never get a minutes peace.
So for us Christmas was just another day with all this pressure to make it magical and truth be told it was just another day.
I love my little children dearly but they are hard, hard work, harder than I ever anticipated. AIBU?
Does it get easier when they are older?!

To say actually having children at Christmas does not make it a 'magical' time?
