Day 2 of half term and secretly admitting to being pleased to be working tomorrow.
DDs aged 8 and 6 are really great and have had a fun day but as the day goes on, fun becomes screaming and I'm not very tolerant of this. It just wears me out. So by their bedtime I was properly sulking and eventually collapsed in tears saying I was a rubbish mum. And then they felt the need to console me which was even worse.
Honestly - who's the child and who's the adult?! I feel awful as a result. Am a lone parent and clearly some of this is about not being able to share the "problem" and when I get tired I get really tired. But most of mumsnet seems to be about difficulties with children eating, sleeping etc. It's not the children that are my problem - it appears to be me! Would love to hear from any other terrible Mums out there.
