I have posted on here quite a few times about how difficult my dts are. They are now coming up to 5 months old and quite honestly they are still dreadful. If I can give you a rundown of my normal daily routine maybe you could give me your opinion of whether I'm expecting too much or not:
The dts are usually fed at about 5.30am and are put back in their cots until 8am when I have to get them up to take my dd1 to school. From the moment they are put in their car seats they scream and I mean ear splitting. During the car journey they are not too bad but the moment I stop at a red light or pull up at the school they both start screaming again. They briefly stop while they are in the buggy (still in car seats) but then scream when put back in the car. When we get home they are still screaming and so I usually feed them. This keeps them happy for about half an hour then they start whinging so I put them down at about 11am for a sleep. On a good day they will sleep for 2 hours although this doesn't happen often. Then there is a repeat of the school run in the afternoon and they do the whole screaming thing again. From 4pm till bedtime they generally are not happy and will cry and scream as they see fit.
As you can imagine this is wearing me out but is it normal? Please help I'm at the end of my patience now
