im not even gonna change my name as im sick of him and i think everyone in RL is starting to see this is getting to me, so you might as well know too.

he doessnt sleep in his own bed, he gets up at 1am ish into ours ( plus the 8 month old sleeps with us) so i get NO sleep, im constantly worrying about them

but the 2yr old is driving me nutty, all he does is throw stuff, hit me, punch me, spit aty me (WTF has he got that from???) tells us he hates us,

his brother cant be on the floor as he kicks him in the side, pushes him over, punches him in the face

he throws stuff, if he sees the laptop he tries o throw it,

he wont leave plugs, electrics, plugsockets the fire alone,

hes stressing me out so much

im not enjoying this anymore

i even smacked him, just out of complete anger, so ive lost it, comletely lost it

im not happy

this isnt how i wanted it to be wheni had kids

sometimes i feel like walking out, i couldnt, but sometimes i feel damn close.

i dont know where weve gone wrong (aprt from him in our bed) weve done everything 'right' we honestly are good parents,

hes a good boy, and i love him to death, i just dont like him most of the time

ive put him in his bedroom for hitting his brother in the face, i dont want to bring him back down

disagree with that .. I think with real issues that we can all relate to that it is best to give the benefit of doubt to any poster even if they are having a wig-out on another thread in a troll disguise

even if they are making it up here it will definitely ring a bell for other mumsnetters and the advice given will be helpful for them

so we always give the benefit of doubt to posters who seem genuine on a thread by thread basis

MrsGoranVisnjic · 15/02/2007 09:21

oh and pitchounette in your condemnation of Twiglett who gave good advice but not couched in your gushy terms you should probably to be aware that she often posts on the SN threads and has a good relationship with many of the mums in SN so I wouldn't lump her in with people unable to express empathy

frenziednester · 15/02/2007 14:04

I don't think Pitch was being 'gushy' - I would prefer that to a blunt 'get help'. I agree with Krythia - go and read the thread before wasting your time and let others post their own questions if they want help

Absolutely agree. When I first came on here I had some very sensitive issues which were met with warmth and compassion and gentle advice which helped me tremendously - and some of the comments on several threads (not picking on anyone here) would have hurt me too.

Kitty - am not getting involved in the politics here, far too stressful.

Please look at www.home-start.org.uk. They have been invaluable to us!!! If you want any further info away from MN, you can mail me at [email protected]

Twiglett · 15/02/2007 18:10

you did offend me actually and if I'm honest you still do, but I suppose as I do not over-sentimentalise advice then my feelings don't count and I'm a suitable target.

If you read BOTH my posts on this thread they were both constructive

I think we'll have to disagree on this one - I feel hurt by your comments and a little stunned .. I apologise for not being a touchy feely person .. if I had told her to fuck off I could understand it tbh

donnie · 15/02/2007 18:23

oh stop paying her all the attention FFS.

Ditto krythia's comments.

chocolatekimmy · 15/02/2007 20:11

I wouldn't upset twiglet if I were you - have you seen her photo (and her family) on her profile? Look like fairly savoury characters to me!

slim22 · 16/02/2007 07:55

this is getting hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Twig, you go girl! I also agree you did not offend. You were merely straight-to-the-point.

tigermoth · 16/02/2007 08:23

Don't know about the other thread, but think kitty is making a good decision about spending more time with her family.

tigermoth · 16/02/2007 08:40

Now I've seen the other thread. You lead a complicated life kitty.

If you do stay on mumsnet, make it work for you better - you can still have a laugh.

calebsmummy · 16/02/2007 08:55

Not read the other thread either, can't be bothered, but have to say I agree with Twigs post. Especially the bit '2 year olds are notoriously difficult to deal with at times...it's a phase'.

2 year olds WILL be difficult if you don't pay them attention and keep them entertained.
