To find school holidays physically exhausting

[Jaffacakesareyummy]

I am having anxiety attacks! 6 and 4 year olds, needing to watch them like hawks either killing each other (in a happy bear cub way) or up to things, even just getting from the car park to a venue is a mission to avoid bring run over etc. I'm exhausted!!!!

This is my life. They're 2 and 4. Count yourself lucky it's just in the holidays!

I was wondering exactly that a few hours ago. My two have only been at school for a year but I don't remember it being this exhausting when they were at home all day, every day.
I must be out of practise because now I need a power nap after putting them to bed in the school holidays. Also, at this age, you still have to watch them quite closely, especially if you're out and about, so it's still mentally exhausting in the way that it is with pre schoolers.

Glad to not be alone! Mine seem to have regressed back to really immature chimp like madness! Loads of fresh air, running etc still doesn't tame them

Think of term time...30 of them all day AND you have to teach them

That is why god invented the TV, and Bezos invented Amazon Prime Instant Video.

Not proud of it, but it's the only way I can get things done and stay sane.

YANBU. I cannot actually walk today as have hurt leg from running about after DD and walking lots to tire her out. She does have severe ASD and Is hyperactive though. I will actually have to get into training for next school hols. She is playing me up loads too.
