[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just wondering today when the whole "rewarding" part is supposed to kick in. My kids are little, 6 and 3, and it makes me feel subhuman to say they're so annoying...but it's true. I hate myself and feel like a horrible mom. And they aren't terrible kids, just run-of-the-mill needy, dramatic, demanding, disrespectful. I'm just so over it.[/quote]

It's hard for it to feel rewarding when we are being ground to the nub with no respite.  My kids are similar ages, 4 and 6, and this year is vastly preferable to last year.  My 6 year old has settled a bit into virtual school.  My 4 year old has gotten over tantruming over every little thing.  But it's still HARD.  It's a grind!  I hate feeling dread when I see them, vice feeling excited or happy.  But I am with them ALL day every day with no end in sight.  It's very hard.

There is no time to carve out "me time".  I'm desperate for these kids to be in the care of another adult.  Hybrid school may start soon and we are thinking of sending the 4 year old back to pre-k.  Grandma is almost fully vaccinated so that is helping the decision making!  She does help us, but we are still limited because of protecting her.[/quote]
