Does anyone else find that their children are completely wiped out at the end of the day? Perhaps, it’s the extra energy spent in chilly recess hours. Perhaps, it’s the nervous tension of school ending next week and the surprises of the season which follow. Whatever the reason…my kids are tired.
The emotion, over-tired anger and great frustration falls around the house like kinder surprise toys. Little, impractical yet everywhere I look.
I’ve imposed only one big activity per day per weekend (in addition to their Karate classes because I think they still need to have fitness in the routine). That means; no Child A can’t come for a play date because we have the office family holiday party at 2pm. After the party we are going home. No, I’m sorry we can’t stop by for a quick coffee. They will be showered and in bed at the usual bedtime. Why? These darlings are TIRED.
I’ve had enough of the crying and the whining; each putting me in a horrendous parenting mood. It isn’t fun to be a frustrated parent. That is what this holiday season is turning me into…a sad-had-enough-parent.
Someone should put me to bed.
