4 year old.and 2 year old. Lots of big changes recently which may well have unsettled them but they are both v intense and v demanding anyway.
Yesterday was the worst day I've ever had. 2.year old tantrummed all day..4 year old was fine if a bit emotional until we went out, didn't stop moaning, nothing was right. I threatened we would go home and he carried on. I had to physically manhandle him while.he shouted and screamed. It was awful. Then he carried on being awful so I said he couldn't have the new bedside table we've ordered him. I know this was stupid and now I've put myself in the position of sticking to an inappropriate punishment or not following through.
They then refused to eat dinner, 2 year old on my lap covering my mouth and my 4 year old saying 'keep doing that then she can't talk'. It really stung.
DH has got up with them today and 2 year old is screaming for me. I'm a shit parent. This holiday is filling me with utter dread.
