[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My children (ages 3 and 5) take turns having bad days. The one day they are good, I will have a crappy day at work. DH, who is normally pleasant, will have a bad day if everyone else is in a good mood.

I feel like everyday is a shit day for one reason or another.

I used to have such a wonderful life before having children. 360 out of 365 days were good days. Now I have 360 bad days out of 365 days. The 5 days that are good are usually vacation days when I go away alone.[/quote]

I also had kids close together and the best advice ever given to me was to get the kids in the bath once they start melting down...or even before the melt down if you can anticipate it.  Sometimes they would take two baths a day...but the water really soothed my two and three year olds.  If not the bath, can you take them to the pool? Water is just so calming for everyone.

It does get better.  Please don't place crazy high expectations on yourself in terms of what your house looks like or even what you look like. These are tough years...but don't expect laundry to always  be done, bathroom cleaned, kids hair combed and that is okay.  Also, don't be afraid to give the kids chores if you are feeling overwhelmed by house stuff. My son was in charge of using wipes around the toilet bowl.  He used gloves and I tell you his aim got better...and this was a good thing bc it was driving me crazy.  Good luck.[/quote]
