My house is a living hell. DS has taken himself to bed and I am sat here sobbing and wondering if it really would be better all roundd if called social services and asked them to take him off me. Ive lost my job, I cant sleep at night and I have just kicked him.
I dont know what to do with him anymore, nothing I say or do gets through. Its only tuesday and already he is grounded saturday afternoon and all day sunday.
I don't know what to do.
I went up to speak to him before and he had wrapped strimmer twine so tight round his ankles, I had to cut it off with scissors. He has cut chunks out of his dressing gown and ripped the crotch of his school trousers. There was a glass of urine on the table in his room tonight. Why? He doesn't know. He doesn't do his trousers up after going to the toilet so when I pick him up from school his trousers are gaping and probably have been all day. Every Day. Why? He doens't know. All he cares about is watching tv and playing out with his friends there is nothing else on his radar. He tells me he has brushed his teeth when in fact all he does is switch the toothbrush on and leave it buzzing while he does god knows what. meanwhile I am left thinking he has brushed its almost like he needs to get one over on me. He lies to me about everything from having got his coat in his bag to what day of the week he is supposed to have PE.
I put out 2 weetabix for his breakfast, the other day he binned 4 weetabix because the milk he had poured on them had turned. Cue a conversation about over eating and I think it is sorted. Yesterday he is back to having 4. Why are you having 4 when I explained to you about having too much? I don't know.
That is his answer for everything. I don't know. I don't know I dont know I dontknow.
I don't know what I am supposed to do with him. I really don't know but I cant keep on like this. I need someone to tell me what the hell i am supposed to do because I have no more ideas left and kicking him is just so wrong and I cant do this anymore
