It's been about 2hrs since I finished reading stories with the DCs and said goodnight. They're both really really tired, but just being silly, messing about, jumping off the bunk beds, giggling. Just generally being over-silly because they're over tired.
I know part of it is because they have had their own bedrooms for a month and are now back to sharing. And that they are excited to be at my house because they've been staying at their dads whilst I've been poorly and this is the first overnight at mine for a while
But they are 6 and 5 now. Surely they must grow out of this soon? If I go downstairs and leave them to it then it just escalates to the point where they are jumping off the top bunk. If I sit up there they whisper and prat about and try to talk to me, despite me ignoring them.
I can't relax at all until they are settled. It's been over 2 hours now. I'm exhausted and broken. In tears in my own bedroom. I've literally just yelled at them to shut up and they're still making noise.
Please tell me they grow out of this soon
