Bring on january!!!

So i saw a post about kids starting nursery in january and u all being a bit upset about then going.. And i know this may sound harsh but i say bring on january! I cannot wait to send jamie. We are really struggling to get along atm, i must put him on the naughty step at least 8 times a day for either hitting me, being cheeky or not doing as hes told! I know alot of it is attention cos mileys here now aswel but i didnt think it would be this hard.

Miley is an angel and hardly cries at all just sits and watches whats going on! Jamie however has turned into a demon child lol i know i sound cruel but i literally have to grit my teeth all day! And i must admit i have given him the odd smacked bum (which hurts my hand) and he doesnt even act like he feels it. I just know when he starts going to nursery eveday (12:15-3:15) we will get along so much better cos we wont be constantly at home bored! Does that mKe sense or am i just awful for feeling like this? Xxx

Not at all your just like the vast majority of us mums with more than one child!
Charlie is so boystrous always jumping about like a nut case pretending to be a power ranger etc its exhausting!
Although yes I will miss him when he starts I will love the peace! And the time alone with Lily

I can't wait to go back to work for a break, but will hate it at same time.

But I also know my babies will thrive in nursery and I couldn't do that at home lol

As for my eldest he's been off school nearly a month now and I'd love him to go back soon

A break is good fr everyone x

I couldn't wait for Ellie to start nursery and I love my 3 hours peace.

I know mum always said she never understood how mums were in floods of tears on their kids first day at school. She said she danced all the way home I'm sure I take after my mum x

...-and when paul was going through his shit two years I considered selling my house so I could pay for two years boarding school

I think you and I are very similar Lu!
I'm getting to the point where I just don't like my daughter any more! She's mardy, sulky, petulant, contrary; she throws, shouts, stamps, hits me, won't join in at playgroups, just argues about everything...
Basically she does my head in and we end up arguing like a pair of teenagers all the time. Then I resort to having to manhandle her into clothes/the car/bed etc. The only thing between me and a shut mum is that I know it's bad and it upsets me but I just don't know what to do about it (
She goes to nursery 2 days at the moment, so unfortunately it doesn't make us get along any better, but at least I get a bit of respite!
I don't know what to suggest obviously but I do think it would probably help if I could get some 1:1 time with her and no Jenny then that would improve thinks I think.
