I'm seriously at the end of my tether with this
DC in question are 7 & 5 and I can not tell you how many times I have to say it to get them to do annnnnything
And I mean anything - eat their food, put their shoes on, brush their teeth, stop brushing their teeth, tidy up (oh the fucking tidying up!!!)
I have to say it literally 15/20 times and even then until I am actually screaming at the top of my voice until my throat hurts nothing happens
Case in point; tonight we were meant to have a movie night, I've bought chocolate milk and popcorn, so I'm trying to get them to tidy up so we can get in our jammies and I can put the film on, there really wasn't a lot of toys out as they'd been mostly in the garden, should've took 5 minutes to tidy
After 45 minutes of me telling them to tidy every 5 minutes or so I went in to check and the 7 year old was lay on the floor, 5 year old lay ontop of him and toys still strewn around
I gave up, screamed at them and put them in bed - I also had to tell the 5 year old 6 times to put her pjs on while I was standing right over her!!
I feel bad that they were in bed at 6:45 but I just can not live like this anymore
What the fuckity fuck is wrong with my children??!!?!
