[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my kids so so much and they're so adorable and such sweet ages. But I am overwhelmed most of the time that I'm with them. Just cooking dinner, getting them to sit for dinner, brushing teeth, etc is all a major struggle. I look over and they're rolling on the floor either fighting or tickling each other. I feel like I'm losing my mind. [/quote]

Give yourself some grace. In the before times, I often felt like this.  It's normal to feel this way. Hope you can get a break. Hugs.[/quote]

one thing I forced myself to do is take deep breath when they are making a cacophony of noise and im standing there waiting for them so I can usher them onto the next part of the routine- I ask myself, are they happy right now, is the noise laughter and joy? if yes, I just let myself watch my kids enjoying themselves and pretend that time doesnt matter, until the feeling of "mom' rage and overwhelm subside and I can enjoy watching them play, I indulge myself in their joy in being alive and having fun for a few minutes and then I swoop in and move them along to get ready- this usually happens at bedtime or when we need to leave the house for something. this little record scratch step out of time has helped enormously with the feeling the I am just going to burst into tears.[/quote]
