What do you do in these situations?
We had a lovely big trip planned for today to Chessington. The whole family. Grandparents, cousins etc.
My 5 year old has been absolutely awful, not listening last night so I thought I’d give her the benefit of the doubt. But she’s been awake since 5;30 this morning, come into her sisters bedroom who is 2 and jumped on her playfully but hurt her, both myself and her dad asked her to stop but she continued and now my 2 year old is in bits. On top of that she was rude to my husband when he asked her to leave the room, and now I really don’t want to take her to Chessington because why should she?! Her behaviour is awful.
But it means myself my husband and our 2 year old missing out too. And I don’t want to punish our 2 year old for something she hasn’t done. I’ve got no one else to leave our 5 year old with because everyone is going today.
What do you do in these situations? How do you punish one without it being unfair on the other?
Help at home??
My fellow sahm’s..does your partner contribute to helping with ANY chores/tasks around the home?? Beyond basic cleaning, I take out the garbage, fix all of the small repairs (clogged pipes, changing lightbulbs etc) he doesn’t do so much as just picking up after himself. I will leave house spotless and go to sleep and throughout the night while he’s awake will leave all his drinks, snacks, trash, clothing, work stuff etc out on the floor and tables and it looks like a hurricane ran through the place and I start my day off with a complete mess over and over again. I’m cleaning up the same messes everyday with no help. Im already running around cleaning up the babies and my own messes all day, it takes me a lot more time with these conditions. Is this inconsiderate of him or simply just my job?
