Seriously a bad day today. I have a 3 2 year old a 2 month old and i can usually balance everything everday keeping everyone happy. Today has been down hill from the get go. Seriously 2 year old hasnt stopped screaming, due to teething his older brother barely touching him. My 2 month will not nap for longer then 10 min. My 3 year old will not listen to me today. Its like their all against me. I need to just snap out of being totally enraged.

Any advice? DH is outa town working, babysitter in school, my fam lives 2 hrs away.

I would just through them all in car go for a long drive but baby just screams in his carseat.

    I'm sorry you're having a bad day, I'm sure your patients will understand if you can't see them though. =P 

    BUT if you meant "patience", is there any way you can pop the older two down for a movie or cartoon. I know putting them in front of the TV isn't ideal, but sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do right?

    LOL at pp (I have to say, I opened this post thinking you were a nurse/doc/therapist and you were done for good to SAH or something).  ANWYAY, sorry you're going through this.  I hate the rough days.  I often find that if I find a way to get out, go to the library, go walk around a mall, go to Barnes and Noble, let them play while you have a cup of coffee, a Chick Fil A, something along those lines to get you out and give them a change of scenery.  It seems to always help my kids to give them something else to focus on and I can feel somewhat human by getting out and people watching in between watching my own kids.  Go take them to see Santa somewhere...you may get some pretty funny pictures.

    Honestly, good luck.  One hour at a time and remember, this day will end!

    I could have written this myself!

    My ticker is probably off, but my laptop is broken so phone bumping it is. I have a 3 year old, a two year old and an almost 4 month old, but she's really 2.5 months adjusted.

    Today sucks for us too. I could say more...but it just sucks. I heard a new term the other day...threenager. pretty much sums it up. No real advice, just surviving over here too.

    My confession...we watch too much tv. Sometimes its the only way the poor baby gets fed!

    Interested in the responses!

    Nights like that, I have a movie night with the kids, and we all binge on ice cream ... not the best solution, but some days that is all I can come up with (we live in the country 15 miles from the closest WalMart/45 miles from decent shopping/60-90 miles from good activities for the kids, so getting out is pretty much out of the question)

    Very sorry you are having a rough day. I lost my patience in 2003 when my first was born. lol I would suggest getting in your car and going to the nearest store that sells oils and buy some lavender or another anything else that would make tem sleep, put them in a hot bath and TO SLEEP THEY WILL GO. I do it to my daughter every sngle night.
