Why do I find it so hard to spend time with my DC's?

I have 3 DC's age 1, 3 and 6. DH is at home a lot at the moment and I am a SAHM. Even though DS2 is at nursery for 3 hours every weekday morning and DS3 is at school I still feel really drained by 5 0-clock, much more so than when I was working.

I'm fine spending time with one DC at a time but find it so hard with all three of them wanting my attention in different way and get quite irritable, to the point I snap at them and just want to lock myself in the bathroom.

I feel like a terrible Mother and that I am not coping even though I have a relativley easy life. I just find it so hard to give them my attention, what the hell is wrong with me? sad

Hey no harm spending quailty time with each of them at different times! Why not watch a dvd when you alltogether and have group cuddles.
