I know I am but I was just so angry.
It's a recurrent cycle and I don't know how to break it.
We have an exciting weekend planned taking him to an event that he really wants to
go to. Involves an overnight stay in a hotel.
This morning he's just so miserable. He's moaned about his breakfast, complained that we asked him to pick his things up, complained that we asked him to get his homework done before we leave and generally been rude and stroppy.
I just lost it with him. But this happens a lot. We plan really nice things then complain he's not grateful enough. But each time we think it will be different.
I feel like one of those parents you tut at in magazines for raising such spoilt brats.
DS has now said 'fine, I won't go' and resorted to self-pity that everyone hates him.
I've left the house to go to Sainsburys.
I'm still furious but I know balling at him didn't help and only makes him feel more hard done by.
Help.
