I had one son 24/7 although he was extremely hard work, so I never had another.
Please see a doctor. I know that you are going through the motions of fun/love/hugs etc but just as your husband can detect your affection is false, so can your children :o(
You need a little adult life for yourself. I took mine to a Mothers and Toddlers group and met a young mum there who had too much help with her child and was looking for a little part time job. I used to pay her just to take my son for a walk or to the park for an hour or two. I agree with you re daycare, but you need a break - so if you have no family support, advertise or find a 'mothers help' to give you a break. They could even play in the garden with the kids while you have a nice long soak in the bath! It just means you come back fresh to your kids.
And yes, get them out of the bed coz you can never have a good deep sleep knowing they are there! This means you are living in a state of exhaustion every single day!
Is it normal that I can't stand being around my kids?
