Feel like I’m a better parent when the TV is on

<div>I am a mum to two toddlers who are 3 years old and 19 months old (16.5 months between them) and I’m 36 weeks pregnant with our third. I feel like I have no tolerance for them at the moment. I’m fed up of them touching me and climbing on me all the time. My 3yo is a typical toddler and needs to be first or in control all the time or she tantrums, and my 19mo is into absolutely everything and I can’t take my eyes of her at any point. My husband works full time, I’m a SAHM (by choice). He’s very involved and has picked up my slack in terms of housework and getting the kids out the house etc because I just don’t have the energy to do it anymore. I have taken to having the TV on 90% of the time he’s not in the house because I don’t have the brain space to keep them entertained without losing it and yelling at them anymore. I hate it because we’ve always been a low screen family but I just can’t cope with their energy at the moment! Someone please remind me that this is okay and it won’t last forever if I don’t want it to (which I don’t)!</div>
