I have a 7 year old son, who I love very dearly. But the past year or so has been so difficult I just don’t know what to do, his been so difficult to the point of putting me into tears on a few occasions.. his so well behaved at school, and everyone says what a lovely boy he is, but at home his a whirlwind.. his obsessed with the word “bum hole” and “penis”, like can’t even go in the garden without saying those 2 words, I feel embarrassed with the stuff he actually keeps saying.. to the point of not letting he should go out as much, but then I try and entertain him inside but he climbs through the kitchen window (into the garden) point blank refuses to listen to me, and thinks it’s hilarious. We go to the local park, but again can’t just walk home properly has to go a completely different way to me and thinks his really funny and throws his shoes on the floor and leaves them I feel so bad, because all of his friends the same age have been going to the park together and all playing on the street, but I just don’t think I could let him out with his crazy behaviour there been a few times he actually runs out the front door and refuses to come in and shouting "come and get me faggot" or something stupid, that the neighbours must think we can't cope or laugh at us, I just don’t think he acts mature enough to go out with his friends, as he also doesn’t pay any attention to the roads, during the summer holidays he wanted to do the school sports club 9-3 so his been going there 3-5 times a week, we’ve also been able to go on holiday 2 weeks of the holiday, I just feel like we try everything to keep him entertained and busy, but he is still so crazy, I know his just a boy and they are lairy and over energetic but with everything recently it’s so difficult to enjoy anything.
I just feel so crappy within myself, keep questioning where I’ve gone wrong for him not to be listening or to be calling me names, it’s so draining, and I generally don’t know what to do anymore. He also has a 5 year old brother who is starting to copy his behaviour; I've tried taking their favourite items away or sending them to bed but nothing is working. Any advice is appreciated, but please note if you're coming in here to bash me then please don't bother, as I already feel a shit enough mother without someone else adding to it 😂
