right so this morning i had plan of taking kids to farm for day with ds2's friend and her dc. friend cancelled. but had already told my dc ( inc my 2 hfa boys) so obv that was not best start as plan had changed.
so we went to nearby lovely lovely cafe where they wanted drinks and cakes. ds1 (8) tipped his hot choc all over floor but mostly over dd (2). then we went into town and ordered ds2s school shoes. all fine.
then i decidede what would be a really great idea would be to take them to an art place a few doors up where you can sit and make stuff and its all very lovely. so we get there, they choose some animals to do decoupage on and papers etc. i had to help dd as she is a bit little.
well ds2 couldnt do it despite lots of help from woman working there. so after 5 minutes, he was off, climbing in dds buggy, shooting it off all round the shop, knocking into other people, pulling their stuff off their tables, then when i got him back he started ripping stuff, sprawling on the floor, making his noises and screaming. then to add to the cacophony ds1 starts wailing and crying saying ds2 had spoilt the day and shouting that he hates him. ds2 shouting he hates me and everyone. all the while i am trying to pack everything away to leave as by now its quite busy in their and the silence and deathly stares have worn me down. the whole hideous experience ends up costing bloody £35 which prob was too much but just had to get out as quickly as poss and away far far away. ds2 remained oblivious the whole walk home wittering on about trains and wanting milk. and ds1 wittering about ds2 ruining his day. his day???? so now i have a headache the house is a tip as despite me asking/telling them to tidy for about an hour its still not done.
i know its not an aibu thread but am i being totally unreasonale in wishing i had 'normal' kids? just wish i could lock myself away for the rest of afternoon and not have to deal with any more.;
sorry for long post.
