What she does it get easier

So I have 2 DD one is 2.5 years and the other is 1.5 years.

I only work term time and they only go to nursery term time except the oldest goes 2 days a week in the holidays.

I am really finding it difficult with them both at the moment. The constant whining, crying, screaming and fighting with them. This starts basically from the minute they wake up and lasts all day. It's driving me crazy! Their dad is working away all next week so it's just me and them. I am seriously dreading it!
Taking them both out is a nightmare, the oldest will just have paddy's if she can't do what she's wants.

Tell me what age it got easier please if you had 2 clod in age

My rule of thumb is regardless of age gap it gets easier when the youngest is 3.

A bit easier at 3 and a half (once reliably potty trained and you can reason with them
a bit)
And at about 6 I started to really enjoy their company and enjoy my time , days out etc with them.

I don’t have a particularly small gap (sounds tough!) I personally noticed a change at 3 and then a bigger change at 3.5.

Agree with PPs. When the youngest is 3.

Yes that's what I was thinking myself, when the youngest is about 3! Oh well another year and half to go 😫

my mum used to tell me that it actually takes 5 years to have a child. It's so true .. I had three under 5 and thought I would lose my mind from tiredness somedays. It all got so much easier as soon as they could sleep, eat and go to school . Hang in there - it's hard because you're doing it right xx
