I know I’m v lucky to have my DC but if I hear someone shouting ‘Mama’ one more time

[Rainallnight]

I might cry. I’m so tired. Everyone wants so much from me.

just needed to get that out.

Oh I know that feeling and I only have one. But there were days that I wanted to lock myself in the bathroom just for a few minutes peace.
However - I now miss those days a little. DS is 15 and getting any kind of conversation out of him is difficult! He did spend time with us yesterday but has retreated to his room again today.
so hang on in there, hide in the loo, eat some chocolate and try to enjoy it

Can you set a timer for like 20 minutes and tell them you are resting for 20 minutes and they can’t inter put until someone is very hurt or the house is burning down. Works with mine and sometimes I do it a few times a day if they are being too much.

If yours are teeny tiny then it’s harder.

Solidarity though. I feel like I’ve lost the ability to relax now.

It's can be so hard...

I really expected to hate this too but I don't find I have this problem so much.

Whenever she is mega upset my DD screams
"Mama! MAMA!!!!! MA-MAAAAA!!!" Which is a generic "help me I hate this" cry. This I can physically feel inside me and I hate it as I feel awful if I don't rush to "her aid"

On your specific point..
I am not sure if it's why but from when my DD was young I redirect her to my DH a lot so

If he is in the vicinity... "Mummy is busy. Daddy can help"
If he is in the room... "Daddy will get you X."
If he is near the object "Daddy is nearer. Ask daddy"

she is now just as likely to daddy daddy dadddddy as she is mummy mummmmmmmmy MUMMY!

Do you think that might help reduce frequency of baby harassment and thus the frustration?

How old are they? My youngest is 6 and has been incredibly clingy this week, constantly wanting to sit on my knee or be carried (he weighs a ton). He's also started referring to me in his own gibberish language, so rather than mummy I get called chibba/chihuahua/chubba/cheewee (it's different every time, but always starts with ch) - if I ignore him, he just says it repeatedly. Driving me a bit mad. Husband doesn't get this treatment, he's just daddy and is not a climbing frame.

Honestly if one more child howls the words "mum I'm hungry" at me this day 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Sit down somewhere out of sight. I used to put the clothes dryer up in the kitchen, then sit down behind it at the kitchen table and read the newspaper in peace. People would come and go and not even realise I was there, but if they did see me, I wasn't hiding lol
