I have three dc's age 5, 3, and 1. Right now I could quite happily walk away from them. I've had it with the screaming and the bickering and the sleepless nights night in night out.
This morning they have basically spent all morning tearing each other to pieces. Surely this can't be fucking normal. Surely there has to be something I can do to make them just stop and shut up for a change.
They never listen to I say. I have tried everything being strict, reward charts, fucking everything.
Excuse my language. But I've had it. I give, give, give and I feel like I get nothing back.
There is no one who will help me. I've asked the doctor for sedatives for the baby as she is up on the hour every hour all night. But they won't help me. I've asked the Health Visitor if she feels my dd has behavioural problems she won't help me.
Perhaps they are all best off with out me. I can't go on like this. I get no happiness from my children. I can't wait till they go to bed at night so I can get away from them.
Give me a reason to want to stay. Right now all I can see is sheer misery until they decide they've had enough of me and leave home.
