[quote=Anonymous]Yes, I'm completely done and I feel trapped.  I do my best to come up with fun things for the kids to do to help them overcome their negative feelings about being trapped at home for 11 months that are making them extra whiny.  It helps a little, but then it's right back to whining the next minute.

They also follow me around everywhere.  Two things I can't stand - 1) having someone hover and ask a million questions when I'm trying to eat, particularly something like cereal that requires a lot of chewing that prevents me from being able to respond, and 2) jumping on my bed and being loud just as I'm waking up.  I just need a little time to get oriented and pull my thoughts together.  I really struggle when I make a reasonable, direct request for 5 minutes of alone time and they still won't go away.  I am an introvert and get overstimulated and this just sends me over the edge.  I don't know what else to do.

I need someone to explain how you stop yelling.  I would love to never yell again, but I don't have any other tools.  I'm such a better parent when I can get a break (which I do my best to carve out for myself), but right now my kids need me for absolutely everything and I have so little left for myself.[/quote]
