As i start this dont get me wrong i love my children but i have days like this day now where i lose the will to live ... up all night, if one was up the other slept and vice versa my 22 month old has started to tant and cry at everything does not take no for an answer refusing to eat anything put infront of him climbing up everything cant take him anywhere without tanting etc. My 7 month old fights everything i.e. she wants her bottle but wont have it, is tired but fights that etc. everything feels like an uphill struggle it takes an hour just to get out of the house, my partner works a full time job sometimes working 7 days a week my house is constantly cluttered i feel like my hands are constantly in the kitchen sink so much they are peeling an cracking when my partner gets back from workwhich is anything between and 7 he has his bath his tea and sits and watches tv doesnt help with the housework however he does engage with the babies. its just one of those days i just need a bit of "support" with the knowledge im not alone.... i know that tomorrow i will be feeling opposite(mostly anyway)

I have a 17 month age gap between mine, ds is now 2.6, dd is 12 months old now. I have felt, and at times still do feel, the same as you.
There are days where it seems I'm hemmed in by shit: every time I try to get ready to go out, one of them fills their nappy. It does my head in. Ds is just about ready to start potty training, but not quite.
There are days when all I seem to do is cook (a job I hate!) and it's always dinner time here.
There are times when one or both are ill or teething or just in a grump for no reason, and I just hear screaming all day. Sometimes I join in.
I have no advice, I just wanted to let you know you're not on your own.
Going back to work saved my sanity, literally, as my depression lifted the 1st week back, and returned over the summer holidays when I was off again.
It is getting easier, slightly, as they get older and more independent. But it's still bloody hard work!
