And when does this end?? When they’re 10+? Adults? Never?
It’s fucking exhausting. I am so bored of the sound of my voice. I spend all weekend trying to stop them fighting/being rough/snatching toys/running in the house/jumping off furniture/touching each other’s bums (!)/arguing.
We have clear house rules written up in the kitchen (3 basics: no running, no rudeness, no roughness/fighting). We have a sunshine chart where they get pocket money and treats if they behave well. We send them to their rooms for time outs when they don’t.
AND YET ITS NEVER ENDING.
To be fair they are much better behaved out the house/outdoors and we do take them out somewhere (preferably for a very physical activity) at least once a day, sometimes twice. But they both wake up at 0630 and aren’t in bed until 8 ish so it’s a looooong day and we cannot be out for hours and hours in this grim weather.
Not really looking for solutions. Just want to know I am not alone.
Both boys (y1 and preschool) if that matters.
