Hi all.
I feel so overwhelmed. I have 2 girls, 5 and a 7 year old. I get very easily stressed out when they are mischievous and it affects my mood as in i feel & look miserable all day long.
I'll give an example of being mischievous, for instance today they were painting , all good untill they started painting eachother's arms all the way above the elbows. I didn't lose my shit! We baked cupcakes together they wanted to put candles on top, 2 mins later the younger one drew on glass cabinet with that candle so i had to scrub off the candle wax off the glass. Made them noodles for lunch, older one put noodles in her water glass, then complained she won't eat them as they are wet and flunged them all over the floor and table while playing with them.
They are good girls but this behavior is not acceptable. I keep ranging from gentle parenting to yelling my guts out at them to start behaving themselves but i do understand this is pretty normal kids behavior. I mean kids won't be kids if they behaved well.
BUT I am losing my mental sanity and i am so frigging stressed out by end of the day. It's my birthday tomorrow and i don't wish to leave home or do anything.
Is this normal? Please tell me are your kids like that too? ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
