Just to say I adore my DC more than anything, they're gorgeous funny clever and make me feel so.loved. but my god I am so tired and just BORED of it all. My 2 year old is incessant at the moment. Tantrums, biting, kicking. Attention span of a gnat. Tried a thinking step time out etc but she just laughs and runs off. My six year old is wonderful but I feel I'm losing patience and she gets the raw end of the stick as I'm constantly stressed from the two year old. I have work to do of an evening (degree) so Im constantly shattered, DH wfh still, 15 hour days. House is a mess. I feel.like I'm wishing the days away and I dont want to be like this. Going back to work in sept and hoping this might help. Please tell.me stories of how much easier it is when your children are older. I got up to go for a run this morning, enjoy it while I'm going but the minute on back DH is logging on and they are all over me , I just want to go for a run and then sit and have 10 mins to cool down in peace!! Eurgh. So yes please tell me how much nicer / easier your life got once your DC were older.
