Starmer & Lammy A Marriage Made In...
News10 mins ago
I have 3 children ( 14, 5 & 3 )
When all together I sometimes can find them a bit hard going. I think some of its the age difference but the 5 & 3 year olds are beginning to argue, fight and just generally wind each other up all the time. I find it very hard and feel a bit shattered at the moment. Not physically but mentally. With 3 people always wanting something its hard for 1 brain to cope LOL
Does anyone else feel like this. Its only sometimes that I feel like this and today is one of those sometimes. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.

And you're right, the mental exhaustion is very hard to cope with at times. I've often thought of enroling on a kick boxing course and maybe some yoga....but never seem to find the time!! If the older 2 are not arguing over whose 'turn' it is on MSN the youngest are squabbling over something or other!
This week I'm dealing with stress over SATS exams, GCSE's, period pains, pocket money (from that tree down the garden), a hospital appointment for the youngest and teething pains , plans for the new house extension AND P.M.T.
Pour yourself a large glass of wine and imagine how boring life would be without them! My thoughts are with you!
I am so glad to read its not just me then. Some nights I sit down and think I can't do it all again tomorrow but of course by tomorrow you feel better and you do do it all again and again and again.
I am thankful I have 3 healthy, happy children but even so its hard going.
Not quite made up my mind if its the 14 year old or the 3 & 5 year olds that cause more brain ache. At least the 14 year old wants to go out and avoids talking to you if possible. LOL
HUGS to anyone who needs one.

you are not alone I have one at 18, twins at 16 and more twins at 13, sometimes I wish I could just leave, mine all hate each other especially the 16 year olds. The have knocked each others teeth out, broken bones on hands due to punching, steal each others things and money, take things off of the others bikes, let down tyres and hid shed key so other is late for paper round and thats all been in the last 4 months. It was very physical looking after them all when they were little, now its more mental like where are they, what are they doing, will the police be round tonight.In the summer my neighbour used to find me on the back door step with a glass of wine, a bar of chocolate and and a box of hankies (for the tears).
We used to take them out all the time to stop them fighting, now no-one wants to come with us (ungrateful lot that they are). Not quite what I signed up for when I was pregnant, now I know why the baby books stop at 5, (they don't want to scare us). But can't imagine life without the little darlings!!! It would be so dull. lol. We live to fight another day, once they leave it will be grandkids and then ours will have to put up with what they did to us.
