Am I allergic to my children? (Light hearted-ish!)

[Ohtheaudacity]

Im just back after a week away with DH and DD who is 3, and i just need some space and peace...! Arghhh! Totally allergic

My daughters are the same ages and I totally get you.

Or stop my 1yo from eating puzzle pieces! Or referee another meltdown from the 4yo because the 1yo has her favourite necklace/ball/pen! 🤦🏼‍♀️ It’s exhausting being chief diplomat, head chef, cleaner and confidante all at the same time.

Exactly the same OP. Adore my DD but when she's not in my presence I feel a
a wellness that would make a fortune if I could bottle it
