to want to scream at my kids.

[Sunshinegirls]

I have exhausted myself keeping my kids occupied this summer holidays, visiting far away relatives, camping trips, days out to the city, endless outdoor activities, den building, campfires, movie days, I could go on. Today, I have built them dens outside and flung a load of snacks at them as I have stuff to do.
They are fighting and miserable and making my day very very difficult.
AIBU to lose my shit with them and tell them they are spoiled little shits.

What ages are they? Do them no harm to be bored and practice their self amusment conflict resolution skills with one another. Just shut the door and let them get on with it, don't take it personally.

Time to bring the hammer down. I didn't allow my kids to fight and bicker. Any of that nonsense and it was straight to their rooms. If they had a disagreement they knew they had to work it out civilly, and if they didn't, they would suffer the consequences. No way would I have my home become a battle field of fighting and carrying on. It drives me insane.

Thanks, they must have felt the wrath of mumsnet because they started acting like angels after I posted this.

Don't break your neck amusing them. Kids need to get a bit bored to get their imaginations going. Tell them that it's mums holiday for the rest of the week

I put whatever they are arguing over in the bin they are 2 and 4 so far we've only had one really bad day but so far so good

Sorry posted too soon no you can lose your shit at them it does them good once in a while to be reminded that you're human and your patience has a limit x
