My DD is 3.5 which with reading on here is a rough age for many, with us not so much, 2 was rough for us, I was pregnant with an extremely active toddler and it about did me in. I yelled a lot last year
It was pretty hard on me and I was not happy in my role as DD's mom.
Anyway we have a pretty happy family environment, but DD, ugh she just does.not.stop. she does not nap, she just very rarely lets up. Tonight I have just had it with her behavior and lack of listening-I know she's 3.5. I had made us a wonderful dinner, I plate them all in the kitchen. It keeps the chaos down. We have a baby boy who is very demanding on the fact he needs to be held like 95% of the time-I rarely get a break from him. So I plated dinner, get DD hers, DH gets his, I get the bowl of steamed carrots for DS. I go and get my vitamins and bring out my dinner, I no sooner set my plate down and DD pours salad dressing ALL OVER IT, ugh
. I tried to keep my composure, but then I just lost it, I was starving, I nurse the baby all the time and need to eat. I freaked out and stormed out of the room, and went outside to take a breather. DH plates me up new food, but by this time I was just beyond annoyed. I told him not to bother and went upstairs and fumed for a bit. DD tried to come talk to me, but I asked her to please just let me be.
I am super frustrated right now, I'm tired of her at times, gosh I'm just exhausted right now in general. Our son doesn't let me put him down, my DD just never stops. She is on the upper ends of activity, she is super bright, which of course makes it worse at times. I did finally explain why I was upset, as did DH, she understood, but I still am annoyed.
I think I just need a break from all of them. Thanks.
