What's the matter OP?

I honestly feel broken. I can't cope with life anymore.

What's up? You can vent here x

Not at the moment but I have felt really shitty many a time. I know that feeling well.

Why don't you share your current shittiness with us?

Dd (3 in october) is having serious tantrums. Constantly. The slightest thing sets her off then it's hitting etc

DS (5 in sept) doesn't stop talking. I mean he does not stop. Does not play alone. Ever.

The 2 of them are arguing so much at the moment, being at home is hell. Dinners are getting refused, their diet is awful atm.

DH and I are arguing, he has no common sense, so much I have to explain. He's argumentative and stubborn and it's doing my head in

We moved nearly a year ago. I didn't want to. I miss our old house so much. I've had to give up my job because the commute became so awful.

I've just had enough. I'm tired to my soul.

Sorry to hear you're also feeling shit op. I'm feeling completely wiped out by life at the moment and can't really see a way to help myself, if I take time off work I'll be letting people down and projects will be delayed, can't take a break from parenting obviously, my financial situation is absolutely dire, housework I try and do every day, yet everything still looks a mess. Can't stop eating shit, drink too much wine, I flop into bed at 8pm. Can't even muster up energy to read anymore.

What's going on with you?

Sorry to hear that OP having children is hard work especially when you don't have a supportive and understanding partner.
Is there anyway you can get a break for the night? Maybe book into a cheap air bnb or budget hotel even. It's important to get time out and look after yourself x

Sorry op we must have posted at the same time. My child is 5 and I totally get you with the relentless talking and lack of occupying themselves for more than ten seconds. Working full time whilst trying to juggle playing all day, cooking, housework, baths, dealing with strops, aghhh it's never ending isn't it.

DueyCheatemAndHow · 19/08/2023 19:16

Tough couple of days. The occupying themselves has got worse. They don't. At all. The nearly 5 year old will do nothing without me. I can't even make a phone call without him talking non stop at me. They are so demanding. So highly strung. Everything feels frantic all the time.

I'm so exhausted.

Sorry to hear you're still struggling op. I know how you feel. All you can do is your best, if you need to stick the five year old Infront of the TV for an hour and a half then do so, you need to get stuff done and it won't hurt him

TheRealMeeeee · 19/08/2023 19:30

I know it's hard but before you know it they won't be little kids anymore and you will suddenly wonder where the time went. Mine is about to turn 18 and I can't believe it
