me and ds in constant war...:(

[Ekatherina]

i know this is probably stupid thread but me and ds were in such a good terms. now it's almost always yelling, threatening, etc....he refuses to do things. we homeschool and there are problems, he refuses to cooperate, we co-sleep and there are problems sometimes too...:( I mean maybe we spoiled him...? i dont know.....he is talented and bright, but so stubborn and always "no" kind of guy. i am just so tired of yelling and complaining. i know I am doing something wrong but can't figure out what excatly. please help!

hang in there ekatherina.

it isnt you.

it is the age.

probably his first round of pre puberty. so he is pretty hormonal.

hang in there. he is really suffering thru real confusing times. rather than yelling just try to be a little more understanding. at that age my dd told me 'i feel like i am two people mama. i KNOW i am doing wrong and i want to stop it, but the other person inside me wont stop.' she was at her worst at that age. and of course now at 8 she is going thru something similar. 

she was EXTREMELY frustrated at your sons age. 'mama i am talking to you telling you things. why do you not understand'? because child you dont make sense. 

right after she went thru her worst .... boohoo hoo... i can cry...

she changed.

suddenly the child in her was gone forever. she became more of a grown up accepting things more easily like my saying no.

and she started body odor (OMG just like an adults) right after she finished her horrible stage.
