5 year old twins are so much hard work.

We are 1 week in to the xmas holiday and I am shattered. Christmas has finished me off.

The constant noise, jumping on dh and I when were in bed. We both work full time and never get a day when we're not in work/with the kids.

On top of this mil thinks were lazy not sending christmas cards and selfish for not enjoying christmas for the kids (this time is for them). I live everyday for them. Sad

I have primary age twins and I totally get it. We had a wonderful Xmas but it's perfectly OK to feel pooped by the constant cooking, the later bedtimes and the excitement of it all at this point.

It does get easier. You are doing a great job and I bet you gave them a fab Xmas and are fab every single day. Don't take on board what MIL said. It's not helpful and just her opinion. You have two 5 year olds to look after!

When are they back to school?
