I have been on a/d's for a while as I struggle with anxiety & low mood.
I'm actually thinking they're not making any difference as I still find parenting really stressful.
I have ds 8 & dd 3. They don't get on well & i am forever trying to break up their quarrels or referee.
DS 8 is being very moody & quite rude at the moment & dd 3.5 is full on demanding. She demands that I play with her constantly, demands snacks and refuses the meals I attempt to make. She cries & stomps if I am firm with her. They are constantly screaming at each other.
I do work p/t and chose this so I can be there for them after school etc however I'm actually finding it so stressful I'm not even enjoying the time we have together.
I do get flustered easily & feel like I have no patience at all. Going to docs tomorrow as I'm sure my bp must me high with it all.
Does anyone else feel the same or does anyone have some advice for dealing with these feelings? I feel so fed up with it all & just want to be able to cope better but I can't seem to.
