I feel like a totally useless parent. I am constantly under pressure from my kids (11 and 9) to give in to their demands. I find it exhausting and frequently give in. I always find myself seeing things from their point of view and cannot stand up to them. I am just had a huge row with OH because we decided that DD shouldn't have a sleepover cos she was poorly last week and needs to rest. But faced with pressure from DD and her friend I agreed to sleepover, with certain conditions. OH is furious with me, I am furious with myself. Why can't I say no and mean it? I know it sound pathetic, but I feel bullied by my own children.
