Stressed or Mess

Oh my god the past few weeks have been my most stressful yet, kids, family, weight and basically me. 

I'm struggling with being at home it's fine with the younger son but my older son Ollie is too much he is 3 (4 in April) but it's like he's a teenager already he chats back at me, refuses to do things, hits, throws and bangs doors. He does not listen to a word I say my threats of taking toys or having no treats are just laughed at. Just had enough of it, I can't seem to cope as I just end up shouting louder and louder my neighbours must think I'm terrible, It's actually embarrassing.

I've got to the stage I can't even bare to be around him but I've had other stuff going on with me with coming off medication and going on a new contraceptive pill, having my first period since April 2012 so I think my hormones have gone into overdrive. I actually think I'm starting to see the stress signs in my face I look awful - Tired and haggard. My weight is creeping up after months of being so good. I'm a mess and I'm not sure what to do about it. 

Any advice would be appreciated. I need motivation, support network and some umph!  

What A World

I think I'm naive when it comes to the working world now I feel I've had a year out and everything has changed it's a lot harsher, employers don't really care anymore, a lot more is expected of you. I think the attitude now is that your lucky to have a job so deal with it.

But then again people looking for jobs are just as bad, my work are employing for my maternity cover and 2 out of 3 of the interviewees didn't turn up the other day even after asking for a more convenient time for themselves to attend.
What is going on people they just don't seem to care about others anymore its awful. And I'm bringing a second child into the world it worries me as if it's like this now what will it be like when my children are adults. It's a scary thought.

In my grandparents or even parents era jobs were for life if you wanted and the world seemed a safer, nicer place but now I'm shocked by employers, employees and just everyday..........what is going on.

No reason

I've no topic to write about but I'm feeling very fed up with life at the moment so I need to get a few things off my chest.
With only one of us working (me) people kept saying go to citizens advice as you maybe able to do this, that etc so the hubby went yesterday and nothing they can recommend or advice they can give to help us out......really.
I'm shocked at all those people out there that don't even try to work get so much more it doesn't make sense and really not fair as they seem to have bigger houses to shelter their tens of kids and still get holidays, big tvs, cars and even pets (they aren't cheap).

Another thing getting me at the moment is being back at work after a year out - it does not work. It may for some if they have a good career but I guess they wouldn't take that long off if they did.
I've not felt welcome and more like why are you back. In a year a company can change quite dramatically so to be expected to just fit in isn't easy and people my god they can change if given a little more power.

What else can I moan about.......badly built houses, feeling fat and frumpy, mortgage companies that don't help when you ask for it uh I need some happy thoughts can anyone help me with that?
