Have just had an awful morning with my 3 boys (6 and 4 year old twins) before I took them to school and nursery. As usual, mucking around at breakfast and not listening to me and I ended up shouting at them all. They all went quiet for about 2 minutes then the same behaviour started again. Feel like I'm invisable sometimes and constantly fed up of asking them not to do the same things and being ignored!
They are lovely boys and actually quite well behaved in the grand scheme of things, but there just seems to be certain behaviour that won't change. I have tried time out, and reducing screen time, but seems to have minimal impact. Feel bad as I probably should have been more strict with them when younger, but was just trying to get through the day at the time!
Also, have problems with the twins still crying most nights. Normally because they have lost their cuddly toy in bed! I know that I can just go in quickly, find it and give it to them and the crying stops and they go back to sleep. However, I am aware that because I always go in to them they don't look for toys themselves! Find it hard to hear them cry and also always worry about them waking each other as they share a room! Therefore, I'm knackered as I have hardly had a week where I haven't had to get up in the night for over 4 years!
Any advice would be much appreciated as feeling a bit stuck!
