Please help me!!! Cant cope with my naughty children any more - Im going to break

[quicklysinking]

I just dont know what to do, and scaring myself with my reactions

I have twin boys 7 years old and a 9 year old daughter

and if i didnt see them again it would be too soon - the thought of picking them up at 3pm from school today is triggering feelings of wanting to give up , run away and die

Has anyone got advice for me?

What sort of things do they do that you consider naughty? Tell us a bit more about the behavior.

If things are THAT bad, I would see your doctor. It sounds like you're depressed. Phone them now and get the help that you and your children deserve. Good luck x

I do think you need to give more info for specific help.

What do they normally do?
How do you engage with them?
How do you discipline them?
What rewards do they get for good behaviour? And punishments for bad behaviour?
How do you talk to them?

Don't dispair.... there is help out there. Usually changing behaviour takes time, a lot of effort and plenty of consistency, but it is doable.
There is a great book called "How to talk so kids will listen", I highly recommend it.

Three children in three different rooms. That is my answer when behaviour becomes difficult.

My eldest two have TVs in their bedrooms. So when they get home from school we have one hour of quiet time to chill out from the school day whereby the youngest has his choice of TV on in the living room, the other two have their choice of TV on in bedrooms.

This one hour makes a massive difference in setting the tone for a calmer, quieter evening without the bickering.

Three children in three different rooms.

Yes to this. I recently had to deal with DS and two nephews and they were warned that if necessary each would go to different rooms in the house to cool off.
