My kids never seem happy with things. I'm a seperated parent and I don't have much money. I try my best but it's like nothing is good enough. We decided today we would use up left over Easter eggs and make rocky road. My son wanted to put honeycomb in it. I explained we didn't have any. He started to insist we drive to the shop to get some. I said I'd already picked the ingredients and spent the money so we would just use what we have. He became hung up on it so I just gave up and said I'm not making it as all you are doing is complaining and demanding. I know it wasn't the right reaction. I'm lying on my bed feeling upset. He is in the sitting room watching tv, doesn't understand what he did wrong.
He has adhd so does get focused on details and can't hear a reply. I'm trying. We have a family law court date coming up. His dad was abusive and controlling and when he won't take no for an answer I feel so triggered as it reminds me of him. But it's not my sons fault he's so lovely and he doesn't mean it but just everything he gets he can't stop himself complaining or starting to request the next thing. I'm exhausted and feel so guilty all the time.
