I really am at the end of my tether.
The twins are 3 and I feel like I can't turn my back for a second. I was putting some washing in the machine and when I went to check on them, they had thrown a whole bottle of cordial, mixed in a full loaf of bread and chucked in a packet of cereal, all mixed onto the floor. They take all of the covers off their beds every morning, wee on them (as they've taken their pull ups off in the middle of the night) soak the mattress (as they have taken off the mattress protector), they seem to be intent on ruining this house. I have to do a full bed change most days, I've had to buy new mattresses, the lot.
I can't keep up with them, they are so destructive. I don't mind picking up toys, I expect mess, but this???
I have tried naughty step, screaming at them, smacking their hand, reasoning with them, what else can I do?
If I am not watching them constantly they destroy something.
They get books bought or get a magazine from the shop, it's ripped up in seconds.
I can't take much more
I don't remember this with my other children x
