I am so tired........tired of fighting with Keith....over everything. It doesn't matter what it is. If you tell him the sky is blue, he'll argue with you about it.
The tantrums and screaming at the top of his lungs, I can't handle it anymore. I just want to sit down and cry. No one understands what its like to live with this child. They smirk and laugh when I complain. I don't know what to do with him. Mornings........gotta fight and struggle with him to get up, eat, and get dressed. Afternoons........gotta fight with him to do ANYTHING you want him to do. Night.........gotta fight with him to eat, play NICE with Caleb (this is a new thing...........he will grab Caleb's leg as Caleb is walking by and trip him, Keith will try dragging him around by the arm and he'll push him over.), gotta fight with Keith to get jammies on, go potty, brush teeth and get in bed. EVERY FUCKING DAY! This is my life. I struggle with an almost 5 year old constantly.
What's he going to be like in school? I've been struggling with this lately because I wonder if I should hold him out until next year. The bottom line is I'm going to send him because I don't know what else to do with him.
What kind of fucking mother am I?

Can you just spank him until he listens?? Seriously, it sucks that this kid is being such a royal pain lately. I think that sending him to school in the fall is an excellent idea. Honestly, I think it will be really good for him to be around his peers, etc.
((hugs)) in the meantime.
(((HUGS)))
I have no advice but I so wish I did. I hope and pray that he straightens up soon!
(((((((hugs)))))))
Lori I think you and I are living with the same child I had to comment cause it sounds like Liam I tell him not to do something and he does it with a smirk on his face he is so different from Olivia and I could strangle him some days with his tantrums and screaming fits. I have never been a mom to spoil or let him away with anything but he is soooo testy. I feel your pain and think school is a great idea for the fall I unfortunately have to wait till at least Sept 2007!!! (((((HUGS))))) your not a bad mom at all and I realize Im not either we just have testy kids trying to push there boundaries, I cant wait till it ends!!!
I kid you not, people tell me that Zach is awesome and that I'm so lucky and I know I am, but some days (not all) feel like a struggle like we argue or debate EVERYTHING. It's like 'who is the MOM?'
OMG Zach love Sean to pieces, but every once in a while when my mom is here Zach will sort of edge out his toes so Sean may or may not trip on them and makes it look accidental. I told him I was born at night, but not last night and i know what he's up to. Of course I hear my dad saying that to me when I was Zach's age also.
You are a great mom, it's just that Keith has learned to push some might shiny buttons on your console there and he is really embracing the 'push the envelope' thing.
Have you considered calling SuperNanny or Dr. Phil?
ok, i'm kind of kidding, but I do get some ideas from those shows sometimes.
I know you and I have talked about it before and i know you have a consistent routine...is there anyone he really behaves for - your parents or in laws or a sitter or anything?
I ask because I know kids often are the most 'crazy' with their parents because they know their parents will love them no matter what, but that they have to behave a bit better for a 'stranger' or someone they don't see on a regular basis.
*HUGS*
Kori, about the only one he really really behaves for is my MIL. Wanna know why??? huh huh do ya? you guessed it, I'll bet. She lets him do whatever the hell he wants. and yes, I have considered SuperNanny. LOL
(((((HUGS)))))
I wish I had advice. But I do think you are a wonderful mother regardless of how you feel.
