Dd 3.5yr is pushing EVERY single button there is!!! I am emotionally going to explode!!! I want to break something...................she basically laughs and mocks me.....

What should I do.......

I told her to find a new home

:

I don't want to be this kind of mom. She still won;t listen to me

 

[AngelBee]

I am bawling.....I feel sick....

My son just said "I am sorry for all of the bad things that I have done"

I am such a bad mama

I am sorry you are having a hard time. Is there someone who can give you a break? Sometimes just a few minutes away helps to get things back in perspective.

When you have a chance, maybe some a parenting book would help. I just starting reading "Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline". She mentions in the book that if you are looking at the situation in terms of making your child do something or saying she won't do what you want her to do, there is a problem with your perception of the situation. I haven't gotten far in the book but it is really making a lot of sense to me.

I wish I could do more to help. Best of luck to you.

Angela,

I just want to give you a

. It sounds like you are having a rough day.

I think that what you need is a way to regroup.

Is there anyway you can stop what you are doing and do something fun with your children for a little while. I am thinking of things like go outside, play with playdoh, blow bubbles, dancing. Just something to break up the mood.

Or could you get a few minutes by yourself to regroup.

Maybe you could go in your room and punch a pillow or tear up paper, mediate or pray (which ever helps).

If you give us a few details someone may be able to come up with a more specific solution.

Good Luck,
Angela

Ok....we all cried together and are feeling better.

I actually had sometime to myself today....about 4 hours running errands for the recital we are having on Wed. I think that may be why she is testing me so hard.

I have the hardest time biting my tongue

It only happens a couple times a year....but I feel horrible! Well dh gets the tongue lashing more often still though.

I have come along way. I grew up with lots of yelling and spanking

My children are not spanked and I try really hard not to yell. I still have problems with threats and bribes though

:

Ugh! Right now we are all under SOOOOOO much stress. I know that is contributing to all of this.

Thank you for the hug!

Dd is stubborn and it is all about approach with her. I approached it wrong and she rebeled hard!

I know it was totally my fault

: But I felt that I needed them to stop and relax for a little bit.
