To get the rage when my kids bash into my body repeatedly.

[bordellosboheme]

My youngest who is 3 is the worst offender. Often it involved whacking me in the knees or body slamming me on his way past, but often even the gentlest brushes past me start to give me the rage after a while. I enjoy being in work as I can guarantee I will not be bashed into for a whole day. AIBU?

No YANBU

Is it accidental because he's an unco-ordinated 3 year old, or is it deliberate to wind you up?

You anbu, I am about to push DS off the sofa as he can't sit still and keeps knocking me, it drives me crazy. Sometimes he puts his legs on me, how I haven't chopped them off I don't know .

No YANBU, the hardest bit of SAHMing is the constant invasion of personal space/kids standing in front of you as you try and move about the house.

This has literally never happened to me and I teach 30 five year olds and have two kids.

How is it happening?

Accidentally but it still enrages me. He's just this minute crushed my toes under his body on the sofa. I feel like screaming and running away....

YANBU. I have to remind my kids that I am a human being and not a climbing frame and at least two of them are old enough that they should bloody understand that.

It is extremely annoying, I generally get up and play with my phone in the bathroom go to the loo to calm down. I also get really cross when my baby yanks on my hair even though I know he has no idea what he's doing. I can see why so many women have short hair with young children.

The pointy digging in elbows as they get comfy on the sofa with you always want make me bail out

YANBU

I feel like this frequently when my 2yo try’s to grab at me constantly, cling to my legs and physically pushes me / headbutts to get attention. I sometimes lock myself in the loo for 5 mins to get a break. It’s so exhausting when just being clung to / grabbed at all day.

All. The. Time.

I have been known to yell PERSONAL SPACE which makes them move pretty sharpish. Nothing else stops them, apparently.

It hurts. So much.

My 15 month old constantly grabs my nipples and twists them. She also tries to slap my and pinches my arms. She only does this to me.

Going back to work has been sweet sweet relief. 5 hours a day of nobody touching my poor boobs

Yup. Sahm to a 3y old and 18m.
I’ve no personal space constantly being pushed past, jumped on, sat on, stroked, etc (and cuddled.) drives me nuts.
I cosleep too so don’t even get peace to sleep. Usually shoved to the edge of the bed.

Some things just give you the rage. My DD3 pulls my arm down when she’s holding my hand. Makes me so angry. Fills me with utter white hot rage

Sahm the nipple twisting! It’s like torture I was lying here thinking no one told me that after giving birth the torture continues...dd literally will not consider going to sleep without doing it I gave up. Slapping is her new thing when she’s upset 😢 she full on slapped me in the face I almost cried I was not expecting it. She’s 21 months.

I almost screamed at her yesterday she was slapping me and the cat and it was friking 2 am goooooooo tooooo sleep!! Fuck the ex snoring away in his own child free room without slaps and tears....I know it’s just the teething but it’s so frustrating

YANBU. I have fibromyalgia, and this kind of thing feels like an assault. It's very hard not to lash out verbally when it happens.

Ah yes, my 17 month old is into hair pulling. I've tried a number of things to get him to stop. We seem to be having success with "gently, like you stroke a dog." Apparently I have to be a dog to get stroked gently

AFistfulofDolores1 yes it feels very personal sometimes. I have sore knees and my ds kept whacking a wooden chair into my knees just now.... WTAF???

Yes! My 4 year old can’t just sit like a normal person on the sofa, he has to be hanging off it, or feet in the air, fidgeting constantly and ends up kicking me. Just having his feet near me gives me the rage.
And yy to the poster who said about the baby hair pulling. Trying to put the baby down anywhere is impossible without losing handfuls of hair or trying to prise open his tiny little fists.

I have a 2 year old who is constantly climbing over me. Up and down up and down, digging feet into me, sitting on my shoulder or head, standing on my feet. Drives me mad so glad I'm not alone.

I am worse when I have PMT I think. My DS is a hair-puller and uses it as a way to get to sleep. Most of the time it is fine and gentle, but a few days before my period it was making me inexplicably angry

Mine used to stand on the back of my shoes when I walk, drives me mad. My mum can't walk in a straight line without bumping into me either

I love it when I take my kids to somewhere huge like a country fair, big shopping centre, spread out museum etc and they spend most of their time STANDING ON MY TOES. I’m like, you have the entire rest of this place to stand in, why are you on my toes? Bonus marks when they’re brand new leather boots or white canvas trainers too.

I call it being “all touched out”. I literally get to the point when I do not want to be touched by my kids in any way at all.
After particularly clingy days I like to spend time with my mum and let the kids their nana for a bit she loves it because it’s a novelty for her
