I've noticed, so has my hubby, that I seem to loose it at the merest thing recently. DH was in an accident recently so is stuck at home. He's started gaming to pass the time.
I work part time and look after our daughter the rest of the time. dd is at that age where she is testing the boundries (terrible 2s. She's mainly good and I worry that I overly irritable when she is only doing things a 2 year old does.
I am also dealing with very difficult, interfering in-laws who stay the weekend about every 2 weeks.
To explain what I mean by loose it, I'll give you an example.
Yesterday (inlaws left in the morning), I lost my temper when I realised Grandad had not put the dustbin bag in properly and as a result food was all over the bin. This was preceded by dd refusing to eat, chucking her alternative food on the floor. Husband asking for something diff for dinner, having sat on his computer all day playing online games and basically not speaking to me except to give the odd instruction to me to get dd who kept running up and down the stairs.
I realise this would test the best of people, but I find I am generally wornout and in a bad mood most of the time. I only have to think of my inlaws to get riled up and the fact that my hubby is spending more and more time on his stupid computer and less time having a conversation with me is driving me mad.
I have come to the conclusion that I need a hobby. Something I can do with dd or while she is playing. Any ideas?
