dC are 11, 9, 7. They literally don’t stop arguing. School hols has made it worse but it was already bad. Constant bickering, criticising, complaining, telling tales, hitting.
H left a few years ago, he sees them every few weeks and that’s about it.
I feel like I’m already not the mum I envisioned I would be, solo parenting is stressful on another level. I know im irritable but I can’t catch a break.
theyve all lost their iPads for 1 week+ and haven’t behaved when there’s been an opportunity to earn ot back. I said we would go to the cinema tomorrow if they behaved going to bed but they spent 1.5 hours bickering and arguing, I must have came upstairs 10+ times.
im at my wits end. Im sure its my fault because I’ve raised them but I desperately need change the dynamics but am completely lost and out of my depth
