Seems like all I ever do is shout at my kids. I love them to bits but they drive me up the wall. By 7pm everyday I am ready to murder them. They are not overly naughty, no more no less than any other kids. It just semems to be the only way I can get through to them is shout. They are 5 and 22 months.
I feel like such a terrible parent. I want to let the little things go but I end up so stressed over the stupidest things. I'm also worried about what the neighbours think, as I always seem to be screaming at them in the garden. I must sound so chavvy.
It's worse since dd1 broke up from school as they're constantly winding each other up. Dd1 is actually quite good mostly, it's dd2 with the tantrums and screaming that drives me up the wall.
Any tips on staying calm and sane?
