only got time to start this thread, but am i the only one sick of doing things to be a good parent when i just want to shout at my 10 year old 'not so' DS for going out of his way to be as disruptive as he possibly can. Talking in calm voice, using the bloody 'I' message, trying not to lose my cool when inside i am screaming and want to tell him he is being a selfish, manipulative, demanding, lying individual. i know he is only 10 and has some problems but i am just bouncing from one crisis to another, and the majority of them are centered around him.
have done so much to try and be positive and boost his self esteem but when does it pay off? am i expecting too much of him to think for himself a little bit, about the consequences of his actions.
i feel like crap and want to shout at him but that probably make no difference.
heeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllppppppp!!!!!!!!!
