I fucking hate this time of day

[ihateevening]

4-7 witching hour, baby whining constantly, DS never stops talking, house a tip, dinner to make, stress stress stress

oh and can hear DH working and I want to kill him

Counting down until bedtime 🙌

Same, the day is a horrible sweaty grumpy used up mess by now!!

I feel this.

I've a five month old.

Counting down to bedtime from 5pm 🤣

I treat myself to some chocolate once the kitchen is tidy and everything is done for the day.

Mine are all older now but I remember this so well... once a week I would take them both to soft play from 4-6 and get tea there for them. It seemed to distract them from their misery/tiredness/etc and they would be ready for bath and bed when we got home.

Oh god you are soooo right, the witching hours are hideous and only narrowly beaten by being woken up between 3-4am where you are so awake you think you might as well just push through.

This too shall pass!

We were just talking about this last night.

Our eldest is about to turn 10 on Wednesday and we were reminiscing about the baby stage. And the many things we also did not like!!

Sending hugs, I remember my house looking like a shit tip, no dinner and a howling baby while I paced waiting for DH to come home so I could hand over 😂
