I can't wait until my kids leave home I'm so fed up with them

[kkgirl]

Just need a rant.
Its friday end of a long, hard week, and 11 year and 9 year old have decided to play up. Other 9 year old being good as gold.
Wouldn't mind but let 11 year old have a friend round from school until 7.45, and now its fight fight fight.
9 year old daughter wants to leave home, and to be honest, wish she would, she can be such a drama queen some times.
DH was in London weds so wasn't home until late, was at Radio Course last night, and Radio Club tonight, I'm so peed off

Sorry

my dd is only little so dont feel this but i know i was horrible to my mum and dad when i was growing up and i regret it all, this prob doesnt make you feel better but think its part of the natural process of mother and daughter!!

Its not just her, its my 11 year son as well. They just don't respect or take account of how anyone else feels, and I am so fed up with them both, I really feel like just walking out tomorrow, and I know that they are going to be so shocked when they don't get any pocket money, as if they deserve any.

Had a really sh*te day yesterday and told DD (only 2.8yrs) that I was leaving because I didnt want to live with such a naughty girl any longer.
When I came back (only went out for bread and milk) DH told me that they couldnt find a nice new Mummy from the catalogues and she said " You make me so happy you came home". I burst into tears and hugged her so tight. She was good as gold today!!
My point: just try and remember all the times that they do make you happy.

Yes they do, but sometimes they are so damned selfish and uncaring, and they are so lucky, they don't want for anything, and of course are not a bit grateful.

Just feeling alone and tearful thats all might go to bed and have a good cry not sure when DH will be home.

kkgirl - sit your kids down and tell them you are feeling really sad at their behaviour. That age are notoriously selfish - well actually every age is notoriously selfish, but seriously maybe sitting them down and spelling it out calmly is the only way they might listen and think about how they are making you feel, perhaps?

My 2 are 9 and 11 too and sometimes they can be little swines.If you have a lot going on or your dh is away it can seem difficult when it is all down to you my dh works away sometimes so I know how it feels.
They are old enough to know all actions have consequence and it sounds like you need to get a little tough with them make them realise how unhappy they are making you although to me it sounds like a combination of a few things.I am sure they are not bad all the time but when things are tough its easy to forget the good in them.Take some time out move all non urgent things back and just try to chill out.
