Mummy meltdown!

[Helenemjay]

I love em, but my kids are driving me nuts at the mo, any suggestions to help me get a grip? and preferably not round there necks is there a quick fix to fight the red mist?

Mine is to sit them in front of CBeebies, make myself a cup of coffee and come on MN . Go into another room and punch a pillow/cushion? How old are they?

Ds1 is 6, ds2 is 3 and dd is one tommorow! dd is of course no problem but my boys are just running riot! bless em' im about to lock myself in the kitchen and make a nice hot cup of tea as you suggest i'd love to be a calm, happy easy going mummy, but im afraid im a she-devil!

huge sympathies, I have a 4 yr old (just started school) who is overtired and currently working self into a hysterical tantrum because I said no to something.
I am doing my best to ignore, and stay calm - but it is hard.

Remember the good old mantra...
