They were being hugely irritating, but I think I was being hugely sensitive and over reacted.
They'd been picking at each other on the way home from school, and then we popped into my mums and dd1 and ds carried on annoying each other.
Anyway on the walk back home we spotted a friend and her dd at the play area so we went over, and they played ok apart from a bit of whinging when i didn't jump up like a shot when they wanted a push on the swing.
When we got home they had their tea but whinged and whined throughout that too, and so by this time it was 6:30 and so I made them have a wash and get their pj's on, gave them their hot choc and put them to bed at about 7.
I just wanted a bit of peace, which sounds daft cosidering they had all been at school and nursery all day.
Fell like a selfish whinging cow now and that had I been less on edge and more laidback, the whinging would have blown over.
