UGH. DS is driving me insane. He is almost 8 (in a couple of weeks) and doesn't listen to anything we say. His behavior has gotten worse with each year the last 4 years. I tried to tell "them" but they wouldn't listen.
He has to put his :twocents: in about every thing, stomps around, throws his fists, kicks his feet, :smartass:, acts like a friggin 2 year old not getting a toy in a store. Where I come from and where DH came from....we would have gotten our butts beat every time and probably not with our parents' hand either. His dad doesn't spank him and I usually don't but, nothing...NOTHING is working right now. Time out on the stairs usually works at his dad's house but, not here. He stomps, whines, and just doesn't sit in time out. It is driving me insane...have I said that already??
What's worse is we're moving to TX (if I could avoid it I would) and he's not going...let alone would his dad let him. He already lives 5 hrs away and by going to TX he'll be at least 15 hrs away, so I'll never get to see him except during the summer and Christmas. Plane tickets are just so high for every holiday. So, it really sucks.:sigh:
But, his behavior...UGH. He has recently started saying he wishes he was never born, wishes his sister was never born (says she gets him in trouble...she's 2), wants to run away, he hates me...blah blah blah all the pre-teen/teen mumbo jumbo. He normally sees a therapist for his "ADHD"...which I believe (and my therapist feels) it is all environmental and not hereditary since his dad and uncle had it. He acts the same way I did when I was younger and I didn't have ADHD...I just grew out of it since nothing my parents did helped (but my situation was a lot different). I don't want him to be that way because I understand what my parents went through...I just don't want him to get worse. Why does he have to act this way with me and not at his dad's house? I mean, I know his dad's gf :dq: gives him EVERYTHING he wants and manipulates him to the point he can't remember who his mom is long enough to call me mom!
If DH hadn't gotten laid off and we have to move...and had the money I'd take his dad back to court because the current agreement is NOT working...not hardly and hasn't for the last 3 years!
I don't know...I am just at a loss.
I guess I just needed to vent a little. I want to :boohoo:.
