I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old and work 4 days/week but am feeling more and more like I want to go up to full time. I just don't enjoy being at home with them. The 1 year old wakes up mega early then just moans all day because I can't get him to nap. I have just wasted 2 hours trying to get him to sleep and he just won't go. He is currently whining and moaning with exhaustion. The 3 year old won't cooperate with anything and I can feel myself losing the rag with him already. He won't come out for a walk so the youngest can nap in his pushchair. He says he doesn't want to do anything. I pack up the car to go out and he refuses to leave the house or let me buckle him into his seat.This just goes on all day and my day off with them is nothing but tedium and bad mood. I just don't think they get anything out of their day with me so what's the point? I feel like a completely shit mum, it's soul destroying.
