SODDING TERRIBLE TWOS - tolerance at Zero.....

[Sax]

I am just soooooo peed off with my two yr old ds. A couple of weeks ago we had a sudocreme episode where he smothered it over absolutely everything - as you all know its a bloody buggar to get out of carpets etc, water resistant and all - anyway i haven't bought anymore at the mo. but today he got hold of the diprobase and has done the same bloody thing - God its going to be a long day. Sorry, just having a moan.

Thank you jabberwocky and sorry again

In the cold light of a new day I just wish to appologise to everyone who was there for me through this most ridiculous panic attack - I sounded so bloody stupid and I cannot believe I wrote what I did - I am very sorry and thank you for your support and not just telling me to buck my ideas up and get on with it! Panic attacks are hardest when you are on your own with the children because theres no getting away from them or it however, thank you all and i say again that I'm sorry. You are a patient bunch.

Oh, Sax, you are being so hard on yourself. I've been through the same type of thing (I'm sure we all have) and at the time it is very hard to cope. Please don't be embarressed or feel bad about reaching out when you needed to. That's what MN is for!

thanks

i'm really losing it tonight but I am going to get them to bed asap before I blow my top! ds2 (2yrs) just looks at me and totally ignores what I say and its driving me insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't need to apologise, Sax, blimey we've all been there. My ds (2.8) can make my blood boil until I shout like a Jerry Springer guest even though I love him to bits and feel awful when I hear other people shouting at their kids. Toddlers can just push all the right buttons and when you've got other kids too it's even worse. So you're not alone, it's really hard being a mum.

I'll be OK I'm getting them to bed, I've had enough of them all today - just felt like I was losing it, sorry guys, thanks! I'll calm down once they have actually settled!
