Honestly same, and then the mum guilt is awful 🥴🫠 it's around 4pm I'm knackered and just want to rot on the sofa but seems to be the kids 2nd wind and just cause carnage whilst I'm trying to sort out tea 🫣
@Charlotte yes this exactly, same! I need to start making the tea during the day so I don’t have to do anything except serve it up at teatime
@Sally-Megan so hard isn’t it. With my kids it’s the having to repeat myself a million times and them not listening that’s the trigger, eventually I feel I have to shout or they won’t do what they’re being asked. This is trying to get them out the door in the mornings to nursery and then the chaos that ensues when they get home again and want to run about like maniacs (boys). Also annoying each other, snatching toys, shoving, whinging etc.. I’m actually pretty level with my husband because he’s not the trigger 🤣 but although he works from home his job can be quite demanding and if he’s on calls or has deadlines like he does now I wouldn’t be able to summon him unfortunately 🫠 I need to lie down in a dark room and take a nap 😆
Yup, but my husband is getting the brunt of it as no other children. I am quite sharp on a normal day, but I'm so easily annoyed at the moment it's dreadful. I could hear myself getting unreasonably angry in the first trimester, calmed down in second and now it's happening again in third. I can only say it must be hormonal / stress. I have tried to step away if I feel annoyed. Or just ask them to remove themselves and step away, rather than shout. Don't worry too much though I'm sure they will all understand. Can your partner (if about) do like a tag in with you when you feel overwhelmed so you can step back?
