are children more demanding or parents are less patience

Dimple--

Welcome to A2K.

Life today is much more complex and densely textured than it was when your mother was raising children. At the same time, families tend to be more isolated.

Do you work outside the home? Do you live near any members of your family?

Two children are tough. Also you could still be postpartum and that can really affect how you feel.

My advice is take time for yourself every week. A time where there is no errands, no talking about the children or the spouse. My husband and i have a rule when we go on a date. No talk about work or kids. It can make it fun to see what we come up with and it's hard sometimes but really feels refreshing.

Also I stopped running errands on my time away from the kids. It helps.
