No point to this really other than to have a moan.

I have an 8 year old daughter and my youngest is 5 weeks tomorrow. I had her the day before my daughter broke up from school for summer.

I will be SO glad when the summer holidays are over. Youngest goes from asleep to screaming for a bottle in less than two minutes. So by the time the bottle is made and cooled she's been screaming for a good 5 mins at least 🙈 Nothing soothes her I've tried rocking her, talking to her, walking around with her, singing to her, she just cannot wait for that bottle 😂 8 year old has NO patience with the crying. Slams her bedroom door, then I can hear shouting things like 'shut up crying' and muttering a load of things to herself. Then she turns her tablet up really loud in an attempt to drown out the crying. I totally understand why it's annoying to her, especially at night if she's trying to sleep, but having one screaming and the other kicking off is really driving me up the wall 🙈 Frustrates me that I can't soothe the youngest until her bottle is ready because I know if the crying doesn't stop then the eldest will kick off.

Thank god next week is the end of the holidays.
