Dyls My DS1(11) is so moody at the moment he is driving me mad. And he talks to me like i am a piece of poo. I know he can't help the moods but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with.

Jas I am sure i will pop in now and then. I want to be able to do this properly but i am useless!

dylsmum1998 · 08/07/2008 19:17

yes he is 9. glad its not just my ds, so embarassing, he started at the weekend he does things he knows he shouldnt (the other day pretending to hit his younger cousin over the head with a glass bottle). he was sat at other end of table to me so i asked him to come to where i was sitting so i could speak to him, he refused and refused so i said "if you dont get your backside here now* at which point the whole pub fell silent to hear me go i'm gonna take you outside and smack your backside.
i dont smack but he pushed me that hard i wanted to! and he started again tonight so i sent him for a shower he stomped he kicked (not me just every bathroom surface whilst screeching as if he was being beaten)- i was in kitchen so he wasnt being beaten. then wwent to bed and kicked the bedroom wall and was asleep by 6.45
so am guessing there is tiredness factoring there as he cant willnot sleep normally. maybe i need to loose my rag with him before bed everynight to get him to sleep

i just hope those hormones swan off again v. soon. just out of curiosity when is the next surge do- or dont i want to know? [scared emoticon]

oh dear just read torts post- 11 and its still going jeesh i still have 15 months til his 11

i hope it passes for you soon Tort dont leave us just flutter baby wings

i woke up at 5.30am as i was thinking too much and i woke myself up!!

tortoise · 08/07/2008 19:44

Dyls It will get better! Well, i keep telling myself that anyway. They love to push the boundries. I told DS1 he wasn't getting his treat this week. That really upset him. I only buy them sweets once a week normally.
I don't know if i will wimp out by tomorrow when the rest get something, i am too soft!

Oh no TMH How awful. Your poor poor neice. Glad she is ok, well as ok as she can be in the situation.

dylsmum1998 · 08/07/2008 20:08

oh your poor neice tmh, do hope sh egets the help she needs poor thing, i cant even begin to imagie what she is going through

TheMadHouse · 08/07/2008 20:13

I too can not imagine the pain and heartache that they are going through. I suppose it was the anti - climax of the funeral. I think it has been all that has kept her going. She has been surviving on fags and diazipan

Hello again, just a quick update from me. Have listed some of my clutter on Ebay, so that is probably my declutter done then. But didn't do timer, very naughty, because I know it is a good idea, so as not to go crackers and run around like a blue a*d fly all the time. Smack wrist.
Oh and stupid Vue have cancelled the Kids Am showing of Wall-e because of some problem with the distributer. They do have kids AM every morning through the holidays though, it's Ratatouille still, until Thursday.
ScattySpice Love films do DVDs through the post, and I'm sure they do filthy ones, but I didn't order any. We got Deja Vu and two others, gone blank. Watching Deja Vu tonight, the one with Denzel Washington (is that how his name is spelt)
Better chuck small person into bed.

TheMadHouse · 08/07/2008 20:16

Ruby Not sure, I am certian my SIL will sort it.

Re the DVDs I did a list on the weekend thread - check it out

Jas · 08/07/2008 21:11

TMH I hope your neice finds the strength to get through this time. Everything you say tells me she has a supportive family around her, which is what she needs right now.

Tort - DD1 does the talking to me like I'm poo thing, and dd2 is developing a seriously sarcastic streak (I'm to blame for that one though)
We are a joy to be around

Could we maybe start seperate theread to list dvds to swap? They will get lost in the daily threads.

I'm going to post m list so I can carry the rest over totomorrow.Sports day is cancelled due o expected bad weather so I'll have a bit of time, unless I can persuade my friend to cut my hair for me.

Evening
19 DD2 homework/reading/spelling
20 Baths done
21 Tidy toys done
22 Hoover done

Notquitegrownup · 08/07/2008 21:20

Evening all.

Well, I've spent most of today in at school, teaching littlies how to cross the road, and the rest cooking food for my lot.

Scattyspice, good to hear there is a basic flyer out there. Some of these amazing lists are looking a bit daunting!

EustaciaVye · 08/07/2008 21:37

Couldnt not post. TMH - your poor family. Cant imagine it. Take care.

tortoise · 08/07/2008 21:51

I have added a few bits to Ebay turbo lister to upload in a few days. Going to look in the dreaded cupboard for more. Pretty unlikly i will make enough for a holiday now though. Am thinking about doing one of the cheap sun newspaper ones for October. Only problem being that it has to be in the half term or we can't do it, plus was really cold last time we went in Oct!

babyjjbaby · 08/07/2008 21:54

yep i just listed afew bits not much tho

Notquitegrownup · 08/07/2008 22:17

Oh TMH I am sorry. There was I posting about cooking etc and missed your post completely. Thinking of your poor neice. I can't begin to imagine how anyone could go on. Does she know about MN?
