AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHH Remind me why I had kids please, 2 weeks into the holidays and I am going mad!!!

[Jazzi]

Help - ds1 3.5 and ds2 1.5 are driving me mad!!!!

poor you
when its raining its worst
at least when its sunny you can go to the park or something

Because every now and then they have one of those moments, which make you go Ahhhh !

You could do what i did this morning. It is cold & raining outside, DD(5) and DS(2) going bonkers. Plonked them in the bath (yup at 10am) and then "treated" myself by soaking my feet, etc and making them all nice and soft again :-) I mean if you have to spend 1/2 hr in the bathroom, might as well get something out of it!

At the moment the constant whinging is outweighing the AAAWWWWW moments!!

Big glass of wine then !!

and at sobernow's neighbour. Have a 9 year old I only see when starting a sentence with "Can I have..." and a non-sleeping baby.

I can imagine the reaction to "Let's stay in and do science experiments"

my children are 6, 4 and 21 months. I have had a few good times where all has been harmonious and I have felt in control. The majority of times I struggle to find things they all like doing, leave the elder two to their own devices too much, and have ended up screaming like a banshee today. Even cake making and decorating is hard as the youngest just trashes everything!
Can I join you with the big glass of wine?

Maybe I shouldn't have brought the 8 week old kitten either!!!!

one word to sobernow neighbour
people forget the bad bits why the hell would you get preg again and go through labour
my boys age 9 and 10 do my head in
they have gone away with grandparents yesterday and i'm missing them so much already planning our fun activitys (till they have been home for 5 mins)
its great to look back when you think of past things you only remember the fun/nice bits

maybe it was the kitten that tipped you over the edge ......nah, must be the kids ! Roll on the nicer weather !!
