I’m losing it!!

I feel like I want to bang my head against a brick wall until I fall asleep!! I’m in no way depressed but this has been a hard week!!

I have a 3 1/2 year old with the energy of 10 toddlers and a 3 month old with a cold!

I seem to be losing my temper with my eldest for the littlest of things. He doesn’t shut up, can’t keep still, doesn’t listen, he was messing about on the table and knocked his drink all over the table, floor and the drawings he was doing, Whilst I was just about to eat my lunch after feeding and changing my youngest! And I lost it big time!!

My youngest has a cold at the min so is hard to settle and is up a few times a night. Which is fine but so hard to get him to sleep with my eldest running around and following me everywhere I go. He has tonnes of toys to play with but has no interest in them wtf???

My husband came home from work and took them off me for an hour but as soon as it’s time for nap I’m handed the baby to get to sleep because he can’t! And I’m back to feeling like I want to bash my head in!!

I need a break but an hour to get on with the stuff like washing, cleaning or getting the dinner ready isn’t really what I had in mind 😫😫😫

How do people cope with this? I feel like I’m losing my control and don’t know how I’m gonna cope when my husband goes back on to the evening shift at work!

I feel you. Mine are nearly 2 and nearly 4 and your description sounds familiar most days!

Sometimes they just absolutely ruin you, other days they are angels and everything seems easy.

I don't even know what to say! Keep going it will change as time goes on this isn't it forever!

And maybe schedule a longer break when the husband has a day off x

This was me last week. Does you 3yr old go to nursery at all? Does your baby have/take a bottle? Mine won’t, just knowing that adds another level of pressure. When I totally knackered and baby needs changing at night I get DH to do it. It just makes a huge difference.

DH worked from home today and took out three year old to from school nursery so I was able to go back to bed with the baby for a bit. That helped. You you get DH to take the 3 year old out for the day at the weekend and just get up in the morning shower, put on new PJs and sleep when the baby sleeps to try and catch up.

I have nothing constructive to say but my afternoon was a bugger also

Was just about to come on and post an identical message. I’m so so done. Kids same age as yours and I just wish I was anywhere but here right now. It’s just day after day of relentless awfulness. Sorry that’s not helpful in the slightest but you’re not alone xx
