Mine have a large age gap they have fought all week. To the point where I left work early on Monday as it was nice weather and ‘phoned them to offer them a nice lift home’ normally they walk 45 mins to school (their choice). They fought in the car on the way home so I drove them back to school and dropped them off. I’m a strong independent woman. For two weeks bedrooms have been a flipping tip - still a tip at midday despite me threatening to empty them and take them to the tip. Youngest hit me 10 times and screamed at me so did the eldest. They have screamed all day and fought and refused to do their rooms. I asked them to help with hanging the washing up they started jumping on the trampoline and fucking about. Eventually we cleared up the leaves etc it took 10 minutes but actually took 4 hours. They are either fighting, screaming or messing my house up.
I have about 10 hours of work to do for my own work so I’m going to pull an all nighters I thought banning phones and tablets would mean they would help they are just running around screaming in the garden - I could lock them out but they would just bang and break the windows. I just want to get in the car and drive off right now
