Shouted today - oh boy did I shout...:-(

HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO WALK FROM THE FRONT DOO TO THE CAR AND GET IN????IS IT????IS IT DIFFICULT???? THEN WHY CAN'T YOU DO IT????HUH????EVER?? EVER EVER EVER????? WITHOUT FIGHTING ARGUING AND SOMEONE ENDING UP CRYING?????

I hate the mornings, always end up losing my bloody temper, and it's such a shit way to send them off to school. We did make friends, but still.....

I shouted at a pancake yesterday so loudly it made both my children burst into tears...you are not alone...shall we start up and angrey women's group where we shout obscenities at each other..or run away to Mexico and live off gin and loose men?

Oooh I quite like the mexico idea to be fair....

are there lots of loose men in Mexico in particular?

I swore at a pancake.

DS2 told me off.

Can I have tequila with my loose men?

Stop yer whining. At least you only have to drag yours to the car. I have to force get my screaming 2 year old into the pushchair and then drag encourage my 4 year old to walk 20 minutes to nursery, one frigging footstep at a time. And then do the same on the way back.

I don't do shouting, but I do a nice line in tight lipped psychological damage.

Yesterday I only realised the back door was open after I'd bellowed "YOU CAN FIGHT DRAGONS AFTER DINNER BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S DINNER TIME AND WE WILL NOT BE DOING ANY DRAGON FIGHTING BECAUSE DINNER IS READY SO SIT IN YOUR SEAT NOW!" after a lengthy exchange involving DS, sticks, the garden, some scaly mythical creatures and lots of noises about it not being fair and the dragons had to be fought now etc etc whine whine whine.

There's no mention of this crap in the Bounty packs, is there?

No, and the coupons are never redeemable against anything useful like gin are they?

I know, who wants nappy vouchers and yet another minute pot of Sudocrem (when just a milligram of the stuff is enough to liberally coat an entire television screen). They should put wrinkle cream and therapy vouchers in there.

it's the poor pancakes i feel sorry for

Mine contained the most massive toothbrush. Like I had already got one sore oriface, now they were trying to give me another - thanks Bounty!

I think you were using the sudacreme wrongly though.

Bloss sounds like an average morning in my house too Can I come to Mexico please

You are most welcome ceebee. Wouldn't dream of going without you. Or Wallace for that matter.

I swear to god I never knew I could shout so much. I actually growled at DS2 the other day.... Am I scarring them for life?

DS 1 did actually have the grace to apologise unprompted this evening...

It also makes an excellent carpet conditioner. According to DS2, who likes to rub a bit in whenever he gets the chance.

it must be something to do with having 4 (and a half) year olds!

Oh yes, those 4 (and a half) year olds certainly know how to push the buttons/test the boundaries/drag their feet don't they?

Ooh me three to Mexico please. Do we get to wear hats?

Hello Everyone

I thought I might catch you before you go to mexico. Thank you for giving me some perspective on my useless mothering yesterday evening. For reasons of football we went to the local social club as a family. Kids stayed up so late the 11 year old was crying to go home. I was 4 pints up so when I got in I lost my temper after the usual "get to bed/ do your teeth/ no you cannot have dinner again" nonsense. I shouted at my 5 year old to " shut your face". I was on the stairs at the time and he was in his bedroom. I swore at them as well.
I was horrible.
Anyway I am at work and decided to look up domestic abuse perpetrator programmes.As you do. I found a really good website called " Everyman" www.everymanproject.co.uk/cont6.html and this link goes straight to techniques for keeping your anger under control.

I firmly resolve to put them into practise and to remember that alcohol and mothering does not agree with my constitution. Please God let me not go to hell and please make me a better mother and bless Mumsnet and Mexico. Amen.

Every morning I end up tearing my hair out at DD1 yet again taking 25 minutes to get a single pair of pants on when most normal humans take 5 minutes to get their entire outfit on. WHY ARE YOU STILL SITTING ON YOUR BED? wHY ARE YOU NOT DRESSED? WHY DO YOU DO THIS EVERY SINGLE MORNING? etc, etc. Rewards and bribery do not work, threats do not work. Mine's a tall gin with plenty of ice

Is there room for one more to Mexico please....

Lordy, I thought two of you had children/pets called Pancake then..

As you were..

Love this thread...it's had me in stitches!!!

...oh and I've got a sore throat from shouting so loudly this morning to 'STOP TREADING ON YOUR BABY SISTER!!!!!!!'

WHY do children take so long to get dressed? Now DS is past the stage of pinning down and forcing into clothing (he's 3) I just end up screaming "Save your Mr Bloom dance for later and put your socks on!!"

Terra Bella - I am the opposite from you - alcohol makes me much more benign with them. They stay up later, misdemeanours matter less, I don't shout at all, everything they say is sweet or amusing......I will therefore be permanently half cut, in Mexico.
