Absolutely sick of my kids today and it isn’t even half seven

[supermarketmustbefreed]

It’s going to be one of those days isn’t it?

I remembered my bins about ten mins before they were collected. Ran out of bed, dressing gown on, dog woke up and lazily followed me as I raced to get the bins onto the footpath. They were collected, yay, result!

Celebratory coffee for me ☕😅😅. Gotta celebrate the small wins.

I hear you! How old are they?

My 4 year old was up from 2 an until 5. I am on my knees with exhaustion tbh

Oh no!
How old?
Will they be going to school/nursery or are they with you today?

If the latter, make sure you get out of the house today!

Mine is still sleeping...
I let him as it's very unusual (especially as it's bin day here too and they are not quiet!) but better wake him up now... Dreading the rush in the next half an hour...

Yes it’s been a long day and it’s not even 9am. Ds woke around 11pm with a stomach ache, then woke hourly until 5am when he was up. No nursery for him today. He’s already watched a whole despicable me Movie, whilst I started work emails at 5am seeing as I won’t get much done today.

Dpd arrived at 7.30am with a greenhouse delivery I ordered. Had to move boxes somewhere dry until I get time to open ( it’s like a half size lean to one, not too huge). Was still in pjs.

One is four and one is nearly 20 months. It’s a trying time!

I honestly think back to when I only had the eldest child and wonder how I found THAT difficult!

Just keep telling yourself this phase won't last forever (eventually you'll have teenagers and wish you could have this phase back 🫣💐)

I won’t! 😬

I feel your pain.

It’s when you think it must be nearly lunchtime and it’s only 9:30.

Oh god, I remember those days all too well!

Coffees and solidarity to everyone.

I have a teenager having a strop like a 5 year old meltdown and making everyone late as there is no "foooooooddddd"

This is the 17 going on 5 year old who's been away at his girlfriend's house for 3 days comes back and expects a fridge full waiting for his arrival.

He's been told he doesn't get to dictate and strop about but here we are.

My next tactic is to point out how massively unattractive this is in front of his 18 year old girlfriend. Seeing him behave like a baby, personally want to tell her to run for the hills.

Well mine is 13 and being overly dramatic about a graze on his knee. He fell off his friends bike last night. This morning his school trousers are rubbing and how dare my Boots size medicine cupboard not have more than the standard size of plaster 🙄 so he is away to school with a square of toilet roll doubled over and taped to his leg with micropore tape!

I'm now enjoying my coffee and toast in peace since I'm off on the sick

Solidarity to all. My 15 Yr old had a nose of blackheads, one is pulsating and red and has morphed into an angry pimple, has been there a few months, I ld estimate at this stage. Spent €60 on acne products, forced him to use them this week. Cannot wait to see the effects.

Oooh I ld like to pop it, he won't let me.

Mine (DD 7 and DS 5) have been angels this morning. Both up and dressed before I got up. I made breakfast, DD then poured both a second breakfast. Both then went upstairs to brush their teeth. I drank my coffee in peace and logged on my work computer. I eventually went up to get dressed and checked on them. They were playing schools. Even went over to school a little early so they could run around the playground with friends.

Complete contrast to Monday, where we ran over to school, I hadn't brushed my hair and DS stood screaming in the middle of the playground because I had to tell him to let go of another child he was hugging who wanted to go into the classroom. At some point there was also cereal on the floor which it turned out had also splashed onto my laptop... found as I logged on late!

Swings and roundabouts!

Can I join in, I’ve had enough of mine all this week, they are 17 and 11 🤣🤣

I won’t lie I’m looking forward to half term being over.

I feel you
