I know I'm being unreasonable already but I actually don't know what to do about it. Ive read all the parenting books and blogs and
Articles i can find, and i can do calm and assertive for a while but its around that time of the month when i lose it, i really lose it. I don't hit but I'm sure the aggression in my voice and my physical demeanour would equally harm a child.
No amount of consequences or coaxing or anything seems to work with my kids and doing simple tasks which is for their own enjoyment turns into a nightmare because they just cannot cooperate (like getting ready so we can go out, or not touching something because they or someone else would get hurt, or not hitting a sibling even). I can't even say its occasional. I'd say at best 50:50.
Can someone out there relate? Offer advice?
