Easter holiday hell

Is anyone else emotionally exhausted from the 2 week holiday? We have a 3 and a 4 year old, both boys. They've got more mental, naughty and noisy as the days passed by and my husbands had my car for 3 weeks whilst he finds a new one! Today id cried twice, screamed at them and smacked one before 9am and feel like the worst mum.

We've had 3 accidents resulting in a busted lip, my 4 year old fell down concrete steps and landed on his face, then yesterday the 3 year old split his chin open after a nice Easter visit to a bike park! Arghhhhhhh, no point to this post other than to vent and see if anyone else feels the same?

I'm currently awaiting CT results (tomorrow) to see if the kidney cancer I've just had removed has spread so I've had that looming over me too

It really sounds like you need more support which given what you are going through isn’t surprising.
Can your DH take a day off work or at least give your car back to you?
If the weather isn’t bad where you are can you take your dc to run around outside somewhere. If the weather is bad would the dreaded soft play help.
Find easy to serve and clean up food.
Give yourself some grace I can’t imagine how stressful trying to parent two small dc alongside having to manage cancer is.
