I live with DH and two DS who are 9 and 12.
It feels like we are permanently miserable.
DH is grumpy and spoilt. It rubs off on our DS too so now they are grumpy and spoilt too.
The bickering and squabbling is unbearable and they can never agree on anything. One of them is always unhappy with whatever we're doing, irritated by the others.
I feel like I have 3 children not 2.
DH is constantly pulling the DS up on their behaviour but he doesn't see that his constant criticism is making everyone snippy with each other and he is just as bad.
We actually get on OK when it's just the two of us, but probably because I'm always happy to do whatever he wants.
I'm thoroughly fed up. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle.
I feel like if you could 'hear' our house without any of the words, just the tone of voice, it would be horrible
