(11 Posts)As I'm sitting in my utility room crying.
The kids just don't listen to me, won't do anything I ask, behave like wild things.
I know they don't behave like this for their dad and it's not a new separation.
I've asked my parents for help but they say they can't:
I'm not sure I can keep going much longer.
You can. But you need rest and to build yourself back up. How old are your children?
And hugs to you!
They are 8, 6 and 4.
It's relentless. I've only been off with them today and I already don't want to be here
They're tired from the long term
They need fresh air , they're like dogs at that age , football in the park all afternoon & then a Christmas movie so you can have a bit of piece
Good luck
I'm just on my way home from work but I know how you feel . I packed mine off to holiday club yesterday and Tuesday because they would not behave or let me catch up with chores. They refused to do anything even for pocket money.
I feel that everyone gets the lovely side of my kids and I just get the destructive and argumentative side.
Hope you're having a better day PinkPixie x
Yes, me too. Did you manage to get them out today?
Spent half of today out then had to come home with an awful migraine.
Tomorrow will be better - I'm going to make sure.
I just tell myself to keep breathing, the rest will follow.....
They know you are a constant their lives, unlike their dad, hence safe to play up. A very back handed compliment but it means you're doing well xx
No advice really but I wouldn't be afraid to park them by the tv when needed! Don't forget kids often play up most with those they feel safest and most secure with
