I love my kids but i have to wear headphones on my ears or at the ready around my neck almost all day. My wife doesn't get my reaction either and why I get so upset amd angry when they scream, it'w causing issues in our marriage to be honest.

I guess I just have to survivr a couple more years until they stop this high, shrill screaming.
I had a hard time when my son was young because he was so needy. I must be the only parent alive who doesn’t want to go back to when he was little! Now that he’s almost nine it’s a lot better. He can get his own snacks, entertain himself, etc. I can’t imagine having twin toddlers! That must be so hard, even without BP and PTSD. I commend you for finding ways to cope!
