Mate, I called DH home today because I couldn't cope with it all. So you are not alone. Its hard, these ages are hard, they do run opposite directions and don't listen at the best of times.... So I think a good idea is to make sure you have some recovery time, some time to appreciate you (no one else will!!) It should be a demand. I'm going to have a bubble bath in a few minutes because I didn't get a shower today, I didn't get to go to the toilet & to get changed I had to have my almost 2yr old screaming at my feet & trying to pull clothes away from me.

I baked with them today, I cleaned them up, I put eye drops in their gunky eyes, I took them to the GP, I played with them, I put on a DVD and sang with them, I made them food, I cleaned up after them.., and I know I will never ever get a Thank you today because thats my job. I know when I'm having issues coping that I need a break, otherwise I won't be up to doing it all over again tomorrow.

Maybe schedule some you time, at night when your DH is home, get a massage, get your hair done, do something just for you totally selfish. you are doing a great job!
