Why am I so irritable? I've been yelling and my voice is hoarse. Sheesh. That's never happened to me before.
I don't know what to do to influence A to stop being mean to Y. That's what all my yells are about. I've been trying to just keep them separate. The problem is Y wants to be with A. Typical younger sibling. So he searches him out.
And worse than this. I've found that my sweet little Y is not so sweet with younger children. He acts just like A. Well, maybe not that bad, but pretty awful.
And what's up with me? Yelling. Man. Is this what they mean when they talk about how war affects family life, because everyone is more tense? I'll have to read up on that. Maybe there are some suggestions.
