Take a breather dust bunnies can wait. Ive been there! Sometimes you need to walk away and take a break you will have those days and its perfectly ok!

Just take a nap. Everyone needs a break.

Your kids are at a really hard age 2-3
and yes, my kids have reduced me to tears

I hope things improve when then baby comes

Its normal sweetie. I know its rough. Just do what you can and try to take it easy. I feel like this quite a bit with my son... but at the end of the day its all worth it!!! Just try n take it easy and keep your head up mama. ♥

Mine are the same way! Stick them both in a room and tell them they cant play together until they can be nice. Works sometimes lmao

Don't beat yourself up please. You are clearly tired and need a break. It can become overwhelming. I feel the same way when my son does that. I usually take him outside so he can burn his energy. I only have one, you have two under 5 and one on the way. You're doing the best you can, is there anyone who can help you? or that you could plan play dates with?

I feel you!
Honestly my girls are well behave, they listen to me. But my son is a whole different thing, (he has a mental and behavioral problem) I just focus on keeping him busy, and i try not to raise my voice at him other wise that aggravates him even more .

My 4 year old brought me to tears last night. He refuses dinner nearly every single night, and then complains of hunger before bed. I cannot make him a separate dinner than everyone else, it just sends the wrong message, but he will refuse to eat his dinner every night, and he is an extremely picky eater the rest of the day when he has more options. His brother was a picky eater too, although not quite as picky as his little brother. I'm so tired of this nightly battle, and their dad has been working both morning and evenings for the last month and it's starting to get to me. Thus, I let myself cry, it is a good release of pent up frustration. My oldest stopped being picky around 6 or 7 years old, so I keep telling myself, he will grow out of it and things will get better, lol, just gotta get through the frustration right now.  
You could try telling your kids to go back to bed when they get up at 4:30, and tell them it's simply too early to get up, it works for mine. Also, if you can find separate things for your kids to play with so they aren't fighting constantly, that might help. I find separating the kids helps a lot, lol, even if it's simply time outs until they can start getting along again. It's amazing how cooperative kids can get when faced with timeouts, lol. While I don't have to do time outs with my kids very much anymore, it saved my sanity in the beginning.

My daughter has autistic features but hasn't gotten the official diagnosis. She also has a severe speech delay and being bilingual hasn't helped that at all. I try so hard not to yell because I know it makes everything worse, but that's my weakness. I need to work on it

Have you teach her sign language? My kids are bilingual and both have a speech day. But we worked hand to hand with their therapist and they are communicating better in sign language. ( Both therapists said being bilingual has nothing to do with speech delay, It actually helps them, ) If i yell it only makes the situation worse.
- last night my son was crying and i could not understand what he wanted until
he said ''Abre door toy afuera'' so i knew he was trying to say ''Open the door my toy is outside'' and he wanted to get it.
