How to cope with two wild toddlers

[motheringmayham]

I'm a single parent to a 3 year old and a 19 month old. They're absolutely wild. They Fight non stop and are constantly vying for my attention. CONSTANTLY.

I was lucky enough to have a holiday away from them recently and it really just highlighted how hard, stressful and upsetting I find parenting them. I'm not sure I can do this on my own anymore.

I work three jobs just to get a break from them. But that brings its own stressors. Part of me is thinking shared parenting 50:50 might be a better option for parenting as I'm so worn down.

The 19 month is constantly biting or pulling hair and is extremely physically demanding of my time and energy. He is constantly picking on the 3 year old.I will often get black eyes; things thrown at my face etc. On the other hand the 19 month old can be quiet loving and is generally a happy outgoing child.

Does anyone have any books, websites, video recommendations to help with parenting two toddlers?

How to talk so little children listen is aimed at 2+ yrs. Do you have a supportive HV? It maybe worth having a chat with them.

@Selfsettling3 thanks for the tip, will check it out.

Not sure there's much a HV can do,
I think I need in home help as in an Au pair but not sure I can afford it.

HV can help you will ways to manage behaviour. Does home start exist in your area?
