I feel on the edge at the moment. Ds (22mths) has gone in the last 3 wks from being a brilliant 12h sleeper, to waking pretty much every hour during the night. I am knackered beyond belief and feel that I'm just not coping.
It's all come to a head this morning and tbh I've felt like I hate my children and do not want to be around them any more . Dd (3) is being particularly moody/challenging and ds is into everything at the moment. They really are just normal kids but I am feeling so angry and irritated a lot of the time.
To top it all off dh is feeling the same as me but handles it much worse. We have just sat at the table eatng breakfast and he growled at me to stop staring at him! This made me feel quite teary; then dd was whinging saing her breakfast was too hot and he just flipped and started shouting at her and took her breakfast away.
I've just locked myself in the bathroom and spent the last 10mins sobbing. I know I need to initiate positive parenting etc to deal with the dcs, but I just find us all being drawn into this miserable sniping at each other. I feel so guilty that poor dd and ds are being subjected to my moods and dh's temper - they really don't deserve to be exposed to all this anger . At the moment we are crap parents and I just want to run away from it all (I won't)
