Have had a rubbish weekend, been alone with two DC aged 3 and 5 all day Saturday and Sunday due to DH moving his campervan and going to a car show with my Dad. Today I planned an afternoon if bowling ( Groupon offer that was almost expired) for us all. We went and kids aren't the best behaved, wouldn't sit down, kept getting up off their seats and being a little excited, I had a word with them and they improved slightly, I understood it to be that they
hadn't been out all weekend and were excited to be spending time with Daddy.
Anyway, DH was getting increasingly annoyed with them and shouted at me that it was my fault they went be having as I've failed to discipline them and they don't listen. I'm a SAHM and at the end of my tether as it is, I try so hard to be the parent I can, lots of positivity, boundaries, consistency etc. I'm feeling tired and burnt out after a long summer holiday and next to no support from him. DS pull up leaked while we were there, he had already used his spare change of clothes. DH said to me ' where are these pull ups from' to which I replied "Tesco I think", he said " you don't even know! We're going, his piss wet through and you can't be assed to sort it out'. On they way home all he was saying was how rubbish a job I was doing, how he need to take time off work to sort them out. Just feel so upset as I need support not to be criticised. I sai this and he said I'll support you by taking time off work and sorting it out. My DD sucks her hair, it's a habit we're trying to stop, he turned round to her and said he was going to cut it all off if she didn't stop it. That was it for me I said how dare he upset her and ruin our day out, he said this is exactly why they are the way they are. Sorry if I'm not giving enough details I'm just exhausted by it all, feel a failure and have no one really to talk to about it.
