I feel so bad writing this but I have really come to the end of my tether and need to vent!
My son is 4 next week and he is in the words of my husband a nightmare!
He constantly whinges and cries at everything; if his shoe lace isnt right, if he wants a drink; then he doesnt like the cup etc... he finds fault with everything and if he doesnt like something he moans about it all day!
He is constantly unhappy; he has in my opinion a lovely home; parents that live together and get along. He has his own double room and I bought him a fantastic Batman batmobile bed last year as he is batman mad!
I have two other children both girls; my eldest is 8 and my youngest is 18 months. My baby girl is always happy and has a sunny disposition.
He screams at the top of his lungs if you say no or he doesnt get his own way! He tells me to shut up; he pushs and fights his older sister and sometimes hurts the baby
What I dont get is he is an angel at pre-school no paddys etc! I have tried health visitors whom sent a nursery nurse round and ive tried reward charts; stickers, naughty step etc.
I work part-time and it sounds awful but I dont look forward to my time at home with him; I feel he spoils weekends with his constant griping.
I have played one on one; football club and hobbies to keep him occupied and active but nothing works
My husband works a 50 hour week and my mum is deceased so its just me really :-(
Sorry for moaning but its been like this for 2 years
