I am ashamed to say I did not like my kids much this weekend. They were bad. Very bad. They were calling each other names, egging each other on, and being violent and crazy. My daughter was screaming so loud that neighbors actually came out of their houses to see what was going on. I am so upset with them. To top that off, my daughter told me to my face " NO" when I told her to go upstairs, and "I don't have to listen to you" and "You are not in charge of me" when I told her to calm down and clean up the mess she made while having her fit, etc.
It has been a horrible weekend. I don't know even how to deal with this situation differently should it arise again. I am sure that for whatever reason, they were both stressed out this weekend, but they have to learn how to control their words and emotions better. Does anyone have any advice?

    LTB: you know that every parent has days when you don't exactly love your kids. hell, i'm a non-parent and i know that. just try to keep some perspective. you know they love you, they know you love them. in the end, isn't everything else kinda secondary?

    Hey there,
     
    Well you can tell me to go take a flying leap if you like,,I really dont mind. But as a single parent and I have been for 13yrs, I know from experience that kids are like little monkeys they mirror everything that they see, hear and feel that is going on around them, and quite often will blame themselves when their parents are no longer being civil to each other and acting like children.
    When I got divorced I decided that I didnt give a shit about what my ex was doing and just concentrated on myself and my kids and always maintained a standard in my environment and the way I conducted myself in front of my kids............and if for one minute, I ever thought that anyone was abusing my children wether it be their father or not the court order wouldnt be worth the paper it was printed on, I would be moving heaven and earth to have him charged with abuse and I would gladly go to jail for my kids.  Your kids need to know that your their soft place to fall, and if they feel that they cant depend on you to take them away from an abusive situation well they are going to keep acting out and becoming more and more uncontrollable,,,because that is their way of telling you that they want your attention and help............Your kids are with you for ever, men come and men will go in your life,,,,,but your kids are a part of your soul................Go to your local welfare groups, or get intouch with local women groups, your local parliamentary member, scream it from the roof tops make a lot of noise until someone hears you and keep a journal in regard to everything that is happening with your kids, you may need it in your defence one day,,,,,,,,,,Your a woman you can do anything........

Watching an adorable 1 year-old baby is quiet amusing. She is trying to figure out where to place a lovely playhouse of her doll. One-year-olds are just starting their forays into friendships....
