I have 3 children age 7, 6 and 3. Most days result in me screaming! Really screaming out of frustration. I know it horrible and wrong, I just want them to listen 😠My two oldest fight constantly, they can't breath in eachothers direction without getting into it and the telling on each other alone drives me to insanity. My 7 year old does not listen to anything she's told, nothing. She answers back constantly no matter what I say and is very rude and it escalates until we both shouting and then I loose my mind. I have shouted, screamed, cried, taken ipads, electronics, YouTube is forbidden, no TV, I will take toys. Nothing works. She's just gotten used to not having her things and continues her usual bad behaviour. I try rewarding them with trips out to have fun and I promise they are fighting before we get to the car. It's a very unhealthy situation and I know it's my fault. I feel completely overwhelmed and truly like the worst parent to walk the earth. I need to find a better way to cope and I need help.
