I'm generally very happy being a mum, I have two wonderful children but I'm knackered and I just can't be bothered to start the whole nappies/dressing/breakfast/dishwasher routine this morning

Ugh...roll on Christmas where dh will be home for a week.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I hate when I don't get my peaceful cuppa in the morning and I try to get up ahead of the girls but the amount of times I just sit down with a lovely steaming mug of coffee and the wails start........why can we not have an easy start to the day......just five minutes

Yes - feel like that most mornings. My two have started a new regime of terror in which they think 4.30 is a good time to wake up. So today I refused to give into it. I had both of them in bed with me. the little one slept till 5.30 but the big one tossed and turned and dug his pointy little elbows in everywhere. Just as he settled down the little one woke up again. But i hung in there and amazingly they both slept till 7 (admittedly I didn't sleep very comfortably as they were lying across me) but I had to wake them up to get ready for nursery.

Amazing.

That's exactly how I feel at the moment every morning too. DS2 (4 months) wakes at 4.30am for a bottle, then goes back to sleep at 5am. DS1 wakes up at 5am and stays up. So I am effectively up every day at 4.30am. Sometimes there is 5 minutes in between DS2 going back to sleep and DS1 waking, and I creep back to bed, praying that this morning will be different, then I hear the patter of his feet, the creak of the door handle and his feet along the landing into our room. We have stopped closing his stair gate on his bedroom door, cos then he just stands at it and shouts, waking up DS2 again, and if I have to be up I'd rather be dealing with a 2 year old who will watch telly, than both of them. Sigh. he never used to wake this early, only in the last month or so, but now it's EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!!
