I have an 11 month old DS and almost 3 yr old DD. It seems that much of our day is spent watching CBeebies and me shouting. I can't take anymore, and I dare say the children aren't too impressed either.
My DS is thoroughly miserable. All he does is moan and whine. He is only happy if he is attached to me which means I can get nothing done because he is pulling at me and he'll fall over if I carry on with the laundry etc.
DD is turning into a little brat and I am sick of her tantrums.
I am upstairs on PC at the moment trying to get 5 minutes head space. DD is in hallway screaming and pulling at her brother whislt he sreams his head of and pulls at the stairgate. When I go down it will be impossible to get through stair gate because DS is trying to climb up my leg.
There is no escape. I have few friends and no family around here. I am in these 4 walls with my miserable children all day, every day. I am married but obviously DH is at work.
Their noise has crescendoed as I write this and I have put them in their rooms kicking and screaming (which I have never done before but it is just too much).
How do I become a mum who can cope with this situation which I guess it not that far removed from a lot of other mum's lives?
