I have had enough...

Of breastfeeding DS2 (16 months) to sleep (and yes, I have tried to put a stop to it).
Of negotiating with DS1 (3yo).
Of asking them not to do things/ to do things.
Of repeating myself.
Of bending down to pick stuff up that has been dropped/thrown on the floor.
Of listening to whining.
Of trying not to lose my temper.

In fact, I've had enough of being a SAHM, but I cannot see a way out because we won't be able to afford child care if I did go back to work and I think I would regret it if I did.

I'm just so pissed off today. Anyone else wanna have a moan?

Can you afford a sitter periodically so you can get out and do something fun/interesting/necessary (!) for yourself? Sounds like you have cabin fever.....

Have you considered a baby sitter, while you maybe have a few hours to yourself or maybe get a few voluntary hours at charity shops, just for something to do?

voluntary work was my saving grace for a few hours.

There's no one I can ask to babysit regularly. Family and friends all work full time or have small children of their own, and DS2 suffers from separation anxiety.

It's OK. I was just having an "Argh!" moment and wanted a whinge. It's passed now. Smile thanks anyway for your replies!
