I have three children, ages 8, 4 and 3. Overall they are great children, I love them so much, perhaps a little too much as they're currently acting like spoilt brats.
We don't go out often as I struggle a lot with my health but whenever we do, such as a day like today, I took them to the beach. Every single time we get home and the kids whine and cry and just play up all day. It's exhausting and it really makes me just feel like the whole thing is pointless and I won't bother taking them out again. My 4 year old has argued over absolutely everything, throwing tantrums over silly things and I have had enough of it. How can I teach my four year old that whining is not the way to go about everything. Please, someone before I lose my own mind!
