I am currently finding the whole mum thing rather too much. I am very impatient, ratty and vile with my children and fly off thehandle for no reason. I have just spent the weekend with a paragon of a mother who seems to be truly selfless, coping with all the incessant demands of her 4 children with grace and humour, whereas my two send me up the wall. I work part-time, which is my salvation, and I do ADORE my children, but I find the day to day SO hard and wearing, and I find myself counting the hours till my partner comes home, or till I can palm off the girls onto someone else (not very possible as we live miles away from all family).
WE have recently moved to a new area and I am aware that this is making us all more than usually tired and stressed. BUt I am very aware that each bad day goes toward the whole of their experience. Anyone have any ideas for a personality transplant?!!!!
