To be absolutely done with my kids today

[shiteday]

All they’ve done is whine, cry, climb all over me, take things from one another, get in one another’s faces. The second one is quiet the other one makes the other one whinge. I am absolutely sick to death of them both and want to resign from motherhood

Count down to bedtime....so you can do it all again tomorrow!

Me too OP. Eldest has relentlessly winged, moaned, asked 100000000x questions and he’s still not done (he’s 5) his dad has dumped his work shite all over my Livingroom, I have less than 1ft to navigate myself in and out the room with a tiny 11 week old baby who hasn’t stopped screaming all day. I mean alllllll day long. I am done. I have no help either.

It’s shit @Mammma91 i know the reply above yours was meant to be funny but it’s just fucking miserable.

This was my day yesterday. Fucking awful. I wanted to cry and scream. They're lovely today though.

I'm in the same boat.

I don't work Thursdays so was at home with them both all day today (rained non stop so couldn't go out) and it is just utterly miserable.

Exact same as you - constantly climbing on me. I cannot fucking stand it. I didnt realise kids did that until I had them. It's just horrible. The climbing on you, then flinging themself off so you have to catch them so you can never relax.

Dithering about in front of you when you're trying to get past them.

And the demands. Oh my god the demands. Even when right in the middle of doing something for them they're screeching for something else.

When they are nice, they are lovely.....but when they're not, they're dreadful.

You have my sympathy. I struggle with it too.

Yup mine are awful ATM, just crying over everything. I think they're tired and the weather isn't helping either.

It's just a phase, it's just a phase, it's just a phase. ..

They are teeny tiny arseholes!! How old are they OP?

I hear you...very loudly. All week mine have driven me very much to the brink.

Mine are 18 and 16 and I actually went for a walk today just to get some peace from the arguing...... I'm still waiting for it to get better 😂😂

You got this mama, some days are HARD!! Some weeks are HARD!!! Mine are 8 and 9 now, still remember those days when I just wanted to run away. When they wouldn't stop whinging and I felt like I couldn't do anything right. It does get better, take each days as it comes, tomorrow is a new day 💛

Totally ok to admit that some days are SHIT . Truly SHIT.

glass of wine???

every time i sit down with a coffee, every time i am on a timed log in for anything or concentrating on anything, the demands.......
and if you take them out anywhere really nice and spend money on them the whingeing and crying is inevitable......

Thanks for the solidarity and god yes to the dithering in front of you. Ones asleep and one is in bed listening to Yoto. They are 3.5 and nearly 1. It’s a challenging stage!

Omg are you me? No you aren't! I feel so relieved to know I'm not alone. THE DEMANDS!

I have a just turned 4 year old and a soon to be 1 year old and I am finding this shit HARD. Solidarity!

Yes to the dithering in front of you when you're trying to get past. My 4 year old is like my cat, waits til I'm making my way somwhere in the house with purpose then hurls herself in front of me tripping me up. Arrrrrgh

3 and 1 nearly killed me. I swear it gets better from here. Despite my moaning tonight, 6 and 4 is a breeze compared to 3 and 1.

Could still cheerfully strangle them. But not as cheerfully as I could've done three years ago.

It’s such hard work. It’s relentless. I haven’t even had the chance to brush my teeth today, I had a screaming 11 week old at my feet whilst I tried to pee. My 5 year old stood at the door demanding to brush his teeth and I had 3 cats wondering the bathroom hounding me for food too. Tomorrow is another day and I hope it’s much better for both of us! I’m dreading summer holidays - how will we entertain them day in, day out?

Life will actually get marginally easier for me then as I go back to work soon and they’ll both be in nursery. Two glorious days a week where I won’t have to feed them or entertain them bar a quick play in the garden and a bit of TV before bath time.

Most days aren’t this bad. I mostly take them out as they’re better then but the weather today was shit so we’ve been stuck in since 11.

This is why I think I’ll stop at one DS 😂

I cannot bear to be in the house my kids at young ages. I basically live in soft play in bad weather and live at various woods or playgrounds in good weather (see also splash park) they seem to behave better outside, annoy each other less and I feel less enclosed! Would highly recommend getting out as much as possible.

We do generally @Hinkuy but it’s tricky managing the little one and her naps. She was up at half five today and she really did need a proper nap this afternoon as she only got a brief one this morning on the way to an activity. When she was smaller she’d sleep in the pram but she’s got FOMO now. Plus, soft play is bloody expensive!

The amount of times you have to get up from your seat..

I've got a good one - no matter where I am looking, could be at the television, or an item on a shelf in a shop, a mirror, basically anything in my line of sight my DD stands in the way. Literally doesn't even know she's doing it. I could stare at the ceiling and she would still find a way to stand in my direct line of sight.

Really?! Soft play near us is cheap. I love a soft play. I'm lucky mine will nap in the car seat or pram but I know napping can be a pain for some parents. Just do your best and if you need 5 mins to breathe then put the little one in the cot and the older one in front of the telly and lock yourself in the bathroom for 5 mins and deep breathe!! You've got this, it is hard but it gets easier.
