Can’t stand my kids

I love them more than the air I breathe. But my GOD they scream, whinge, cry the moment they wake up, until I put them in childcare, then from when I buckle them in the car picking them up till bedtime. I’m so SICK OF IT my near 5 year old has had 5 meltdowns since picking her up at 4pm. My 1 year old, screams and cries every single thing she wants to communicate. I cannot get through to 5 year old. I’ve tried being gentle I’ve tried screaming back at her. Short of just completely leaving them with their dad and fucking off, I don’t know what to do because their screaming fills me with rage. I’ve tried noise cancelling in ears - they help but so uncomfortable. Next best thing is offing myself. But as I say, I do fuxking love these screaming little demons and couldn’t bare the thought I just want the screaming to stop

My gosh, this is my life too. My kids are 4.5 and 19 months old! I have found that snacks often work wonders (I am known as the snack queen). I carry around a bento box full of chopped veg/fruit/cheese, juice cartons, and yazoo cartons. It's the only way to transition them from school to playdate to home without epic meltdowns. It's doesn't always work, but I've reduced meltdowns to about once a fortnight now. I have also started giving my eldest magnesium in liquid form. I feel that this has helped, especially in the sleep department, as she was waking 3 times a night, with the last wake-up being 4.30-5, meaning she was up for the day. I have also invested in Loop earrings, which are a godsend - my kids even get them for me when I'm starting to have all the feelings 😅

Oh sweetie 🫂x

Mines dad is better at disciplining than me. Mine was a demon till he would put him in corner/ timeout. Not letting him get away with anything. He’s like this sweet angel I’d say half the time…also doesn’t let him scream at mommy goes in corner
