Is it asking too much to expect my young children, 4 and 7, to stop asking me for things they can't find, they want got down from the top of the cupboard, weird questions, etc etc etc occasionally when i need to do other things?
Sometimes i need a few minutes of quiet and sometimes i work from home and will explain to them that they need to play quietly by themselves so i can concentrate on writing an email or something.
They can never do it.
Yesterday i was exhausted and asked them to let me lay quietly on the sofa. They then proceeded to ask me for everything under the sun including juice, toys, to search for lost toys etc and then when i put my foot down they cried so off course all chance of a quiet moment was gone.
What's worse is that other people say how easy it must be for me working at home at the same time as looking after my kids. When i say that actually its horrendously stressful, unfair on my kids, and bordering on neglect when i have to work from morning til night with my kids at home these people say that the kids just have to get used to it! An hour maybe . . . 10 hours?!
Im ranting now.
