I totally know what you mean, I had a REALLY bad day on Friday with a teething, grumpy DS and a leaking radiator and plumbers in the house leaving their dangerous tools lying about and I texted DH saying I feel like running away.

I didn't run away but on saturday spent the day with a friend who is single and childfree and felt sooooo envious of her lifestyle, she works part time, gets up at 8am (i get up before 6am every day) goes to the gym, has a leisurely uninterupted lunch, goes to work and then usually goes out in the evening. She admits she does get lonely at times and broody, but then she spends a bit of time at my house and sees me with my eyebags and no time for myself and feel glad she's not me! Sometimes I wish I wasn't me either!

Today has been better, had a long lie in this morning thanks to DH and he has also taken the kids off my hands for most of the day so feel a bit refreshed. Back into the fray tomorrow though, but only 1 week til half term.

Sorry for the ramble but I know just how you feel and you are NOT alone!

NappiesLaGore · 14/10/2007 18:42

Oh I totally empathise with you here, and I only have two!
Being a mum can be SO hard, and there's only so much fighting, screeching, answering back, tantrums, mess etc etc, that you can cope with, is there not!
I lost it badly yesterday, after my two fighting, destroying their bedroom, DS2 crushing a washing tablet all over my floor, and then spilling yoghurt drink over carpet!
I read the book "When Mum turned into a monster" to my boys today, and thought "Blimey, this book is about me!!"

Judy1234 · 14/10/2007 19:06

It can be like that sometimes. You won't be as bad as you think you are and it will get better as they get older. or you can always do what I did - realise about 3 hours continuous time with children was my limit desire and fix their care accordingly - win win all round. Nicer me. Nicer for them.

oneplusone · 14/10/2007 19:08

I feel like a crap mother too at times and I feel sorry for my kids having me instead of some lovely, cheery, endlessly patient, creative mother. I sometimes feel I'm in the wrong job but unfortunatley I can't hand in my notice and look for something else!
