Annoyed, Cranky why does bedtime have to be this way.
My husband works away in the mines, not that it is much different when he is at home, I still do everything, but lately night time with kids is the worst. Being school holidays I thought we would stay up and watch a movie, in the middle of it I made popcorn, then the phone rang and it was Daddy. So you tell the kids come on come and say hello, they say yeah Hi Dad, Love ya bye. Then I have to cop Daddy then being disheartened because the kids don't have much to say, (Daddy dearest seems to forget life still goes on when he is not here). THen I am trying to speak to my husband, the kids are taking full advantage of me being on the phone and mucking up, I come inside popcorn everywhere and them cacking themselves, well basically it has been an extremely long day, so I cleaned up the popcorn, they were just being smart alecs (son is 6 and my daughter is 4) while I am doing this, so I sad fine I have had enough movie off, go to bed, then they start screaming, it has to be a big scream fight before they go to bed. I get so sick of it. What do you do????

Re: Annoyed, Cranky why does bedtime have to be this way.
My daughter is the same at times. Just when you start to do something she goes off and does all that she knows she is not allowed to do. Especially when I'm talking to hubby. Why? Well cause she is fighting for attention and it's her way of telling me that she is upset. When she is crying at night it mostly cause she wants her daddy to be home. Have you tried to talk to them about their acting out? It could be that they are upset, frustrated and stressed that their dad is not home more often. My hubby works many hours and there are times where he won't see the babies for days at a time cause he comes home so late. So my girl really misses him and she does know how to express those feelings. If you have them color a picture and explain it to you, I bet you'll find out alot. Or have them tell you a story, it maybe an insight to their behavor. And as for not talking to daddy much, they are probably thinking the less they talk to him, the less it will hurt when they have to say goodbye to him. And the screaming most likely is in reaction to you being so stressed about having to clean up and putting them to bed, and doing it in a negative mood, they will feel that and it does upset them. So before going to bed, do something calming, like reading a book with them, to relax them and help you destress, and then have them go off to bed. If you send them to bed while your upset, then they will just be upset as well. But if you send them off to bed and you are calm and happy, then they will be happy to. If you want to talk, minti mail me as I know how it is.
