As a mother of two I have asked myself that question several times. I have learned to have an easy dinner planned, give them a bath immediately and put them in the bed as soon as possible and dare them to get up. This gives you time to yourself and it allows them to get the sleep that they need. If they get used to going to bed between 7 and 8 (depending on their age) then you will have no problems in the future because they will be used to it……Wow you are great, working at a daycare and then coming home to kids. Good Luck

Make BF watch his own damned kids and take baby out for a while, even if you just go sit on your porch.

try to understand your kid after all hes your own he just needs attention theyre very jealous and possessive at that age take a day to honour just him spoil him .Dont you want your kid to grow up to a good adult like the other kids you have cmon at the end of the day hes yours

Your son probably just wants your attention. The more you try to push him away, the more he tries to hang on. I know how stressful it is to have to take care of children, more so for you after a day’s work at the daycare! But try to give him a little undivided attention and then settle him down with some activities, like colouring, books or puzzle toys. He needs to know that you care.

get them fed and to bed by 7pm. Then have some time. Why he may get on your nerves is because he feels less loved than your baby and by mucking up he gets attention. Yes it is for misbehaving but attention is attention. It is not their fault you are with kids all day and having nothing left at the end of the day for them. Perhaps look at getting a job that does not include kids so when you get home you look forward to seeing them all.
