I could just run away

[doziduck]

Ds1 drives me mad, screams shouts 'i hate this house' and 'everyone hates me etc, dp is of a very similar nature and makes me really upset that he sometimes displays childish fits of anger and moods in front of the boys. Now ds1 who was always the one that made me feel i must do SOMETHING right is acting in the same way.
both boys have just come in ranting about each other as usual and when i stayed indifferent to the situation screamed that he hated me, threw his shoes across the room and accidently but v v painfully slammed a stool down on my toe. Surely this isn't how family life is meant to be? At the moment i am so sick of it. Sorry for going on but needed to rant. Thanx.

that should read ds2, the one who crippled my toe.

I know how you feel, my daughter is going through the same phase. How old is your DS? Its' not how I expected family life to be either, I expected calm happy peaceful amused children. I don't know if yours are school age, but if they are, I think that they are really ready for a break, mine are so tired, they just need a rest and time to relax.

Hope this helps, it does help to have a rant, doesn't it?

Hi Doziduck. He's not 5 by any chance, is he? My ds1 is 5 and often brings on threats to go to the shop and never come back. Particularly is he's doing a duet with dd. Fantasies of planes to Rio flit into my mind. (Then they'd be sorry...)

I'll never do it though, because sometimes, just sometimes, it's beautiful. Hope things pick up soon.

yeah, he is 5. What really pi**es me off tho is that i don't think he would be saying this stuff if it wasn't for a very difficult ds1 who is copying from word for word, expressions and all.
I have noticed ds2 has become v disobedient since turning 5 tho, won't do a thing i say. His way or no way!

Doziduck - I read the thread title and it could have been mine. I've spent most of the afternoon in tears since picking ds1 up from school because I just can't cope with him. He hates me and everything in the world. Wishes he had a different mum and dad and shouts and swears none stop. He's five and has just started school. I was so worked up this afternoon picking him up from school that when he started to yell and me and then he ran off, I just walked off and left him. I just kept on walking and I didn't give a dam if he was with me or not. I was half way down the road back to the car when he grabbed hold of me and started hitting me and shouting at me for walking off.

I called his health visitor because I felt so distraught and she mentioned getting social services to offer some sort of support for me. I said they could take him and I meant it to. Every day is a battle at the moment and tonight I wanted to abandon ds1 and just disapear from the world with ds2.

So I'm thinking of you because I really do understand how you feel.

How are you feeling doziduck?

Hey snap Flip. Thought maybe I'd written a thread and forgotton about it

doziduck, how old are your two boys. My ds1 is almost 6 and ds2 is just 3. They are driving me mental too at the moment. All i seem to do is shout at them.

Makes me feel better to know i'm not the only one going Mental
They have behaved a bit better today at least. Nearly the weekend though and if it's anything like the last one...3 ranting, impossible kids to deal with instead of two...say no more
I am pre-menstrual now too so they better all watch it wink{}

This is when mn is so good, last week I think I sat and cried most days about ds1 behaviour (4 yrs). He now says when he is being "bad" "I'm a little sh**, amn't I?" What do you say, he's right! Big hugs to all, and please know that I don't think it's anything we have done
