Walking out for a breather

Honestly I feel like this more than I care to admit. 2 year old and 8m old and it’s just a lot sometimes especially when they’re both screaming at me at the same time

I’m the same but opposite… my eldest (3) is so bloody good but we are at that back chat stage and I’m finding I’m constantly telling her off for such small things… I however have always struggled with her as I never properly bonded with her as a baby… so when I have her talking away and my youngest (8 months) crying and be super clingy and my partner is in my presence I do just want to get up and leave and never look back!!

Completely get this! I have an 8m old and a 3 year old. The 8m old cries all the time and my 3yo is at the stage that she doesn't listen to what you say. I'm quite a calm person generally but I absolutely lost it on Saturday, I was fed up being the one to deal with everything. Pretty sure I had a breakdown. I had the kids to myself yesterday morning (which isn't unusual!) and we had a lovely time and since then my other half has been doing a little more (not enough really) and I'm fairly calm again with both him and the kids. You gotta do what you gotta do and don't feel guilty about it (although I know it's hard!)
