Long story short, my mum has put my 5yr old to bed as she came over for dinner. Bedtimes have become so stressful in our house as we also have an almost 1yr old to deal with. We’ve been out all day at a local maze and to see an outdoor puppet show in the afternoon. We’ve had tea. The girls bathed and now in bed, however, my eldest started her night time delay tactic malarkey and I told her off saying no she cannot have anything more to eat it’s bedtime. She then started crying asking for my mum to read her stories. I said 1 book and then it’s bed. When I walked out I overheard her tell my mum ‘I hate mummy, she’s not the best’. Which has made feel completely broken. We are also currently going through house renovations so I’m stressed to the max, on top of going back to work in a week after being on mat leave for a year. I feel completely exhausted, run down (also sleep deprived as the 1yr old sleeps/naps terribly) and have no patience. I just feel fed up with life and have no control over anything. Sorry for the rant but needed to get it off my chest.
