How do I keep my negative moods to myself?

[glowfrog]

Really struggling at the moment. My sleep has not been the best because the 5 year-old climbs into bed with me in the middle of the night and so on... Maybe my PND is making a comeback.

So for instance today I woke up in a complete funk and I've been irritable all day. Both my girls (8 and 5) have been doing overall quite well with the lockdown and I think I'm too hard on them multiple times a day. I don't think I've said much that's not been negative today. I dread to think what it's doing to them. And then of course I feel even worse for being a crappy parent.

What can I do to try and not take it out on them?

Are you getting any help? Both physically and for your own MH?

I understand how you feel, I think it’s the lack of routine and uncertainty. I start each day thinking right, today is going to be positive, but then I’ve usually shouted at one of the dc by mid afternoon
I’m trying to do as much play and activities as possible but it’s hard as the eldest two ( 9 and 5) bicker a lot which is sooooo draining in the current situation.
I think you need to cut yourself some slack, we’re all in uncharted territory here xx

How are you getting on today @glowfow?
