Is this true?

My therapist says the more I lose it with the kids the more they will push it as they want to see how far they can go until Mummy is okay again?

Since they have been utter nightmares this morning (all of them) and I have absolutely no control over them wtf do I do?

DS2 bit ds1 because he took his dressing gown. DS1 now haws a red bite mark on his back.

DD continued to back chat me even when I told her several times to stop.

All of them buttered in when I was telling the others off and it all started about 2 minutes after daddy left.

I felt a sneaking admiration for them daring to be so bloody cheeky as I would get smacked if I so much as answered back in a very minor way but now it has got out of control.

Angels at school...

I think it is all about confidence, actually - which is why pretending to be the nanny is such a good idea. You're the boss. If you don't feel like you're good enough to be the boss, then just pretend that you're the boss (IYSWIM). Act the part of a confident, in-charge leader (even if inside you're sh*tting yourself ).

Thanks starkadder

I am feeling so much more confident already and are being firmer but not losing it.

well done

Thank you .
