Siblings constantly fighting

I’ve had enough.

Have a 5 and 6 year old. They are constantly bickering and fighting. I feel like I’m trying to home school, work full time and referee them constantly.

Then my 5 year old wakes every two hours through the night - unless I let them get into bed with us which I’ve been trying to stop.

I feel like I’m failing the kids.
I feel like I’m failing their education.
Feel like I’m failing in my own work.
I am most definitely failing the housework.

I feel destroyed.

Please don’t tell me to suck it up. I don’t have the resilience right now.

The housework doesn't care.
The kids education at 5 and 6 will get picked up/sorted out at school.
CBBC in the mornings is your friend.

That's how I'm looking at it.

My DC are coming constantly fighting too let's face it they are bored and sick of the sight of each other. Do you have any help from a partner or childcare/support bubble so you can split them up for a while?

Op I feel your pain, my dd's (8 and 5) can barely be in the room with each other for 3 minutes without an argument starting! I wish I had useful advice, it can be really stressful at times!
