My husband finds put today if he loses his index finger or not as he chopped his middle and index off (hitching up a boat to go fishing) he's had 2 months off work so our eldest son has gotten extremely attached to his daddy. He left an hr ago for his appointment today and our son hasn't stopped screaming for his daddy he keeps waking his baby brother up who is 7 weeks old and its driving me nuts to the point I'm gonna lock myself in my husband ute (he took the family car) till he gets home I'm already in tears as I can't handle his screaming or his brothers I'm being treated for Pnd but the tablets I'm on don't seem to be helping I just don't know what to do and feel like I'm failing coz I can't handle my own two sons :'(
I don't know what to do :'(

Is there a neighbour, a friend or a relative you can call?
You are not a failure, we all have these moments with our kids. We can't control our kids feelings.
There is no support around here for me. My in laws live 3 hrs away my closest neighbour is 10ks away and I don't have any friends

I know this is 2 days too late but I would have suggested putting bubba in the pram and taking them both for a walk. Sometimes a bit of fresh air and different surroundings can be the perfect distraction. I hope all worked out ok? x
