[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yesterday was an ok day. Today was another shit day. I seriously think I am trapped in hell sometimes of whining screaming children. Woke up to kids jumping on me, kicking my face, stepping on my stomach. Fun. DH took kids downstairs to feed them breakfast. I stare at several loads of laundry. I am pretty sure I just did 2 loads on Friday. Walk downstairs and fight with 1 kid because he didn't want to eat his breakfast. Other kid keeps dropping food from his fork. Then he knocks down his drink. Kids start playing, screaming and hitting one another. DH turns the tv on for like 2 hours. Met up with a friend for lunch. Kids are running around the restaurant, spilling drinks, crawling under the table. We run to get some coffee and kids are running around and screaming. They are the exact kids that used to annoy me so much before I had kids. I escaped to go grocery shopping and run to Costco. Lines are insanely long and kids are whining and screaming bloody murder that they are starving when I get home. Throughout the day, I am scolding them and trying to get them to listen.

I really can't stand this life. Maybe I was not meant to be a mom. Some moms may have infinite patience. I seriously am irritated all day long. The kids do not bring me much joy. They fight all freakin day long, make messes all day along and annoy the hell out of me.

I thought perhaps I was exaggerating about the 360 bad days out of year. Unfortunately, I really do have 360 bad days. [/quote]

I remember watching Super Nanny episodes featuring families like this.  I believe what you have is a discipline issue on your hands. That and probably you need to MAKE more fun with your kids, even if that means you and your husband do it one-on-one with your children so they're not annoying each other (and therefore you).  Seriously.  Consider that you need to learn some things about setting expectations, letting certain things go, and addressing high-stress behaviors in an *effective* way.  [/quote]
