I love my son dearly but for the most part I just can't stand him. He is almost seven years old and causes so many problems, he is domineering, a wind up merchant, moany, aggressive, his behaviour puts such a downer on our family days. It is chronic. Our daughter is not like this, but my son. I feel like spending time with him is a chore and more out of duty rather than a desire. I have tried parenting classes, talking with teachers, social workers but he is just a pain in the butt. He is a dream at school or his dads house but with me everything becomes a conflict, even so much as asking him to put his shoes on, he will go...UGGGGGGGGGGGGGH FINE!!!!!!! OKAY!!!!!!!!! I am so tired of it, his behaviour has put a strain on my relationship, my emotions, it is incredibly draining and I feel mean for saying but when he goes to stay at his dads the tension in the house lifts, I feel like I count down the days till he goes, just because I know there will be no commotion! I hope I am not alone in feeling like this! I have a day out with my son today just one on one at a family activity class and I just feel like the thought of going is a chore, I don't even want to go! Spending time with someone who has just pushed me to feeling irritated is not something I want to do! How do I get over resentment towards my child?
