Where are you billy?

LeBOOOf · 30/10/2011 01:02

So what is he doing that is making you feel like this?

Salmotrutta · 30/10/2011 01:03

Ella makes a good point too - I remember wishing my DC would just shut the hell up and sleep in the middle of the night when they were infants.
I wasn't exactly overflowing with the milk of human kindness after floor-walking for hours on end.

I fully admit that I wasn't exactly enamoured by the "neediness" of infants and toddlers.

EllaDee · 30/10/2011 01:06

It's ok, I well remember my brother at 10 - nightmare! You can talk about it all here, someone will know how to help or where to go for help I'm sure.

Salmotrutta · 30/10/2011 01:06

He's 10 you say? What is happening to make you feel like this?

LivingDead · 30/10/2011 01:10

Is this genuine or some kind of Talk about Kevin shtick?

missingmumxox · 30/10/2011 01:12

er, really if you wanted to talk then do people are interested, if you do not why the post? and the sarcastic responses to other posters? we have so far he is 10 and you hate him...not a whole lot of info? expand!
if you are just trolling then jog on,

HildaOgden · 30/10/2011 01:13

I might get flamed for this,but I'm finding it difficult to understand why you are being so evasive in giving any details about the situation?

GoreSplattersHouse · 30/10/2011 01:13

If you are for real then you need to give more info for a response, otherwise forget it!

coldwed · 30/10/2011 01:14

Can we have more info, op? why start aibu with no details. Grrr

Moominsarescary · 30/10/2011 01:15

Agree with the last few posters, why no info

HowlingWereWolfBitch · 30/10/2011 01:16

X post, My mum used to say the same thing about me when I was that age (She was serious and admits that today). We have an amazing relationship now.

What is making you feel like this?

saitek · 30/10/2011 01:18

op when posters are in need we all tend to help...please don't feel afriad to vent why you feel like you hate your son. we all get day when we hate the behaviour our children and feel at the end of the tether.

AnnieLobeseder · 30/10/2011 01:19

As others have said, if you want support and/or advice, you'll need to tell us what's going on. Otherwise, why are you posting?

stripeybumpinthenight · 30/10/2011 01:19

It's a line from 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' which is seen by some as demonising women who have negative thoughts towards their child.

OP if you're trying to create a shock reaction it's bloody tasteless. I suspect you are, going by your second post.

LeBOOOf · 30/10/2011 01:21

I thought of the Kevin angle too! OP, you are being very reticent here: if you want to talk (and if you start a thread, that's implied), then you are going to have to actually say something, or we can't help you.

carriedababi · 30/10/2011 01:26

If you really do you must be a right bastard. I hope this is a sick joke

lilolilmanchester · 30/10/2011 01:30

until we know for sure whether OP is taking the piss or genuinely desperate, I think you should cut her some slack... if she is feeling like she describes in the OP then she needs guidance towards other sources of support. If not genuine, or having a "laugh" then so be it.. but my view is that if she is for real, she will be very sad and very scared.

lilolilmanchester · 30/10/2011 01:32

(and all sorts of reasons why she might not be posting... ) OK, so it could be a troll etc but innocent before proven guilty and all that??

LeBOOOf · 30/10/2011 01:35

I'm not calling troll at all. I'm just wondering why the OP hasn't actually told us anything.
