[quote=Anonymous]It didn't really manifest for me until my oldest was a tween/upper ES aged. By then, I had been parenting multiple kids for 12 straight years and the fatigue and feeling tapped-out set in causing me to have knee-jerk over reactions to age appropriate things, losing my cool quicker, not rolling with the punches as easily, you get the picture. Not sure if it's typical of other parents of older kids or a reflection of how my parents did it. Could also be perimenopausal. Moodiness and the like. I'm not the spring chicken i was when my oldest was born. I try to think about my own youth and take it from that perspective and tweak my parenting from there. I hated and dreaded asking for mayhem homework help bc I got yelled at, cried, got frustrated, didn't understand. Now, I'm doing the same thing to my kid and I'm reeling it back, but there are other examples too I'm catching myself in.[/quote]
