[ComeONFabStopStressingSOMuch]

I have had enough today.

I just want a break.

The kids have been winding each other up all morning, practically laughing at me when I ask them to do something and are just stressing me out.

I know I am doing it all wrong so don't want advice as I have it all. I just want to cry. I have so much stress on me at the moment which is why I am off with the kids and not able to handle them tbh.

Just need to vent/escape/hide.

any chance of a couple of hours off at any point today?

Well,I'm not much help as feel a bit the same way myself, but certainly feel free to rant awya on here, and cry if you want to

Once the kids are dropped at school I am free until 11.30am.

I really don't want to cry as I did that the other day and it doesn't really help and I get mad at myself.

so after drop off aim to have some little nicety? hot deep bath? chocolate? just a sit down with nothing to do for a whole 10 minutes?

until then grit teeth and get it done.

like eccentrica says - take 10-15 minutes when you get back froms chool drop off to yourself, even if it's just sitting in teh peace with a cuppa

Says it all when I shout now! to ds2 to get ready - having asked him at least 3 times already - and then ds1 shouts now! at him too.

dd is now crying because she hurt herself and ds2 is calling her a cry baby.

ds1 is getting right on my nerves.

my little darlings wer fine this morning but i my god did they both get on my tits on monday.
DD2 whines, then DD1 gets cross with her and shouts at her, then DD2 whines and crys some more. It is maddening.
How long till you can leave for school? count it down in minutes.

We left 5 minutes before your post, EG, with ds1 refusing to get in the car and back chatting me. Got to school and then got told off by the head. She said I was shouting. I just walked out before I burst into tears.

Isn't it just so grim when they wind you up. I got so cross the other week, I cancelled halloween sweetie collecting for eldest DD.... and I carried thru the threat... she could not believe it. It was all because of not doing what she was told and me having to ask over and over and over and over again. I just felt at age 7 that it was time to show her I mean business. Would this work for you. Early bedtime, no telly... or have you tried this all before. I sometimes put my head in the airing cupboard and scream.... this normally diffuses any situation as it stops them in their tracks... god knows what they will remember of their childhood!

Try to be kind to yourself. We are all so hard to ourselves and it is bloody hard work. Big hugs.

Well that was helpful of her. How bloody dare she? There are times when shouting at the bloody children (who have been nagging and fighting and niggling for 2 solid hours before they get to school) is the only thing that you can do.
I bloody bet she shouts at children who are being foul.

I have banned all tv and computer until the end of the week though they are going to the inlaws on Friday so she will let them as she won't do what I have said in case it puts her in a bad light. I am too to argue with her atm.

I was calling to another child, not shouting at them, and had already said for the TA to get my son to clear up the leaves as he had made a pile of them right by the door. I think me calling across to another child was too much for her. I fully expect a phone call later.

Any better after school?

I sent them all upstairs and they started playing nicely together . Now having tea and I am sat MNting at the table with them. I have had a full on emotional day but staying calm, they are being okay really. I was a bit miffed that DD took ages to notice I had done her room and come down and thank me but finally she did.

Thanks for asking. How has your day been?

sounds much better. well done.

my day was very unproductive - was supposed to be working (homework) but couldn't be arsed so did some knitting and watched twilight

Much better idea!

It all went pear shaped after tea. All are in bed and I will have to go now as my 4 year old is screaming.

I take 100% responsibilty as I am in a foul mood with them and taking it out on them by shouting when they are not behaving nicely.

2 crying now. have to go.

MIne went tits uptoo after a fairly peaceful teatime. DD2 screeching like a sodding banshee. again.

ho hum.
brace self for tomorrow. agaion.

I couldn't sleep last night.

DH not happy with me at al[ [I deserve it emoticon].

DS1 crying and screaming like I have never heard before but I did manage to calm him down and have a cuddle.

Took ages to go to sleep and then woke up about 4. Gave up at about 20 past and have been up since then. Got loads done.

I think I will be surviving on chocolate and coke today.

Oh Fab. You must be shattered. Make this a new start day if you can. Try to forget and just move on.... easier said than done I know. Try walking away when it kicks off. Go and get a slab of choc and just sit down, flick thru a mag and put the telly on. They will soon want to be with you. Say that their behaviour is making mummy sad and just be quiet and see if you can change the dynamics a bit.

Sorry, I bet none of that is helpful but it's so hard and you need to go easy on yourself. Feel free to rant... sometimes that works best. x

Hi

Weird day but I am okay.

Had no power and the alarm was blaring so I got DS2 and took him to meet Daddy at work for lunch. DH and I had a bit of a discussion but I think we both said our bit and made our points and hopefully we will have a nice evening..

Bit easier this afternoon as DS1 went on a school trip so I took the younger ones to the park for a bit then toys r us.

One day at a time.
