I have 4 dcs ds1 (9) ds2 (7) dd1 (4) and dd2 (9 weeks). I feel like the worst and most useless mum. My house is a tip, my dcs are behaving terribly constantly fighting and winding eachother up. Dd1 has turned into a tantruming rude little diva and regularly refuses to settle down at bedtime. Anything we ask of her sends her into a rage (ie please eat dinner, please don't throw things at people etc)
Obviously right now the baby needs a kot of attention. I am ebf and although she sleeps fairly well i am shattered!
I feel like i am constantly shouting and no one is happy or having much fun. The evenings are hard as dh works nights so i am on my own. He tries to help but also needs to sleep before work.
Don't really know what i want from thia, just need to vent.
Someone please tell me it gets easier and how you cope! I love them so much but feel like i am failing them totally! :(
