How have your kids sucked the last bit of life out of you today?

Lighthearted outlet thread. We all love them really.

DH working late today. Dealt with the usual not listening, talking back from eldest, stopping baby from slashing his head open from climbing EVERYTHING. Had to keep alive, feed, bathe, bed two on my own. Baby has so far taken 1.5h and still not asleep. I can hear 5yo pattering around downstairs and the dishes clinking when I said go to bed so that’s an issue for later. The house has been ransacked by the pair of them so once the kids are finally asleep that’ll be outstanding. I’d love a shower. It’s 9:15. This means I’ll get no time to myself this evening to eat the snacks I bought earlier. Let me liveeeeeee

18 month old will not sleep. Still awake now.

Tomorrow is one of her two days at nursery, she's going to be absolutely exhausted and will probably have a 3 hour nap there. Which means tomorrow night will be exactly the same as she won't be tired til midnight!

This is where I’m at today. Because DC2 didn’t fall asleep until 10 last night (3h after bedtime), it’s all hell breaking loose today. Constant whinging!!! I am done
