It's perfectly normal, we're only human. I find myself speaking to James in a certain tone, and having to check myself. Especially when he is clearly tired, and fighting sleep.
Luckily it's only naps we struggle with, and not bedtime.
Hope you all have a better day tomorrow, and you can enjoy some 'me' time now. xx
rant over hehe! time for a glass of wine.
xxxxxx
Enjoy your wine. xx
Please don't feel bad. You are a wonderful mummy! Your little ones look like such happy, lucky children in all your FB photos.
Unfortunately there will be times when things beyond our control (like teething or illness) are troubling them and no matter how hard we try they'll be upset or over tired and we get frustrated and upset too. But that doesn't make you a bad mummy at all. It's not easy being a mummy at times and often OH's don't understand as they get to go out to work and have a break from being on call 24/7!
Could you ask your OH to look after the kids for an afternoon or just a couple of hours? So you can go out and treat yourself or just have a nice relaxing bath or read a book...with no distractions!
Hope you're feeling better.
Love NN xx
Hope you have a better day tomorrow and those teeth stop giving Jasmine so much trouble soon.

Jayden has lots of behavioural issues at the mo, mostly speech related i think as he has speech and language problems. we had got so far with him and his behaviour had improved vastly but i feel he has regressed back slightly- very frustrating!! roll on when e is back at preschool as he seems alot better then.
so glad im nt the only one who gets frustrated, i feel myself counting to 10 about 50 times a day hehe!!
Yes NN OH would always let me go and have a couple of hours on my own but i always say no as he works so hard etc i feel we arent together as a family much, i should really take him up on it and have some 'me time'.
im sure things will get better, hope u are all having a nice bank holiday - on the up we got a new washing machine today as our old one had broken for the 4th time in a year grrr! im going to have a play - very sad i know but things like this please us mummies hehehehe!!! get a life comes to mind!!! xxxxxxxx
I'm glad you're feeling a bit better but defintiely take your OH up on the offer of a few hours to yourself - YOU work very hard every single day too!! ) I've never really had any time away from Lyvi (except twice at the hairdressers and one for about an hour swimming!) but today daddy is going to look after her for a few hours while I go and visit my mum. I'm nervous but know it'll do me good at the same time too!
Have a lovely bank holiday.
Love NN xx
we have had a terrible week too, its just so awful when things arent going to plan, our routines been out the window with the teeth, had a good cry at my mums at the weekend as hes just screamed so much and been so misreble, had to put him in bed with us the last few mights to get some sleep
hope the are getting better x
