dcs are 4 and 7 and am upduffed, sick and hormonal atm so thats prob not helping
its getting to the stage where i am dreading it all day
and thats not right is it? dreading seeing my children?? i dont even go to work ffs
from the minute they come out they start. they grumble and dawdle all the way home, (about 20 minutes) particularly the 4 year old. they bicker, shout, incessantly TALK at me, constantly demand things, i'm hungry i'm thirsty etc then drinks etc just get left lying around. they tell tales about eachother (they are both going through a lying stage atm ie they lie about stuff the other has done to get the other in trouble iyswim. they are hyper, over tired and every single dinner without fail they piss about and half the food ends up on the floor. while i am trying to prepare tea and sort homework, reading etc. and it doesn't let up till bedtime when i am a quivering wreck
its not good to dread and wish away all this time?? i feel awul
does it get better and is there anything i can do to make it more bearable for us all. i don't want to be a shouty, angry mum. they are only little once, i am meant to be enjoying it :(
