I've had a realy, really bad day and i don't know if I can cope with it much more. I tried calling a couple of friends to chat but they're not home so I thought I'd vent on bubhub - sorry guys.
I've got two toddlers at home with my DH working really long hours. I'm having heaps of trouble getting the kids to go to bed. They keep getting out of bed and I keep putting them back for over an hour - this happens with their day time sleep and at night. I put them to bed at 7.30 tonight (they seemed tired) and one of them is still awake now. they've also been whining all day and wanting me to pick them up - even when we were at a good friend's place for a play (who they know really well). this has been going on for weeks and weeks and nothing's improving, it just keeps getting worse.
they don't listen to anything I say. it doesn't matter how nicely I say it or whether I raise my voice. i don't know how to manage them any more. some ideas please???
