Phew!!! Thankyou for all your posts!!!! You have given me hope!! What you have described is just what I expect. So I'm glad I won't be shocked! I expect that things will be hard sometimes and that I will yell, I'm not perfect, of course I will.

But sounds like you all are able to cope with it without swearing badly at your children, and them and you screaming 24/7! I expect meltdowns and hard times but not so hard that I would yell at my child that they were an F-ing idiot! (heard that from the people next door).

Bath- I was thinking about offering to babysit but I don't really know them, haven't had a conversation with them before, just hello when we see them out the front so I thought if I went over and offered the mum might be embarrassed coz she'd know I'd heard how stressful it is over there iykwim??
