I’m exhausted, the kids are squabbling about any single little thing. How do you cope?? They are aged 10 and 8 and it’s relentless. It’s so hard not having someone to tag team with you. And I counted 3 arguments over stupid little things before we’d even got home from school run this evening. And on and on it went. I know it’s tiredness but what do you do?? I grew up an only child so I think I find it especially hard, I had no one to squabble with. I’ve just cried with them both now. I’m tired of shouting and then hiding how I feel. They need to see the impact on me. I work full time in a stressful job and this is just another miserable thing to deal with every evening.
