i can't cope with my child anymore

It was a great year. i attempted a social outing today, unfortunately came head on with my boyfriends brothers girlfriends, who individually I get along great with, but when they are together one gets very possessive of the other and I'm clearly reminded 3 is a crowd but that's more about her insecurities so proud to say I actually didn't have a meltdown over that :)Â, I will try to take the pressure off myself somewhat, re establish some routine, and get a handle on things. If they get down from table at meals just take food away-stay very calm and as matter of fact as possible- ‘we eat at the table in this house ..’ I find using ‘we’ helps rather than ‘you’.Routine is key. I know I did. The basic idea is as soon as Dd starts doing something i want her to stop, i say "that's a 1". Sounds a nightmare, and being pregnant again you must be very tired.I had 3 children, and what 's coming across is that your home is not child proofed.You need child proof locks on everything - fridge, cupboards, doors. I've had a normal upbringing, no major dramas. I spoke to my boyfriend about some of it earlier. He keeps everyone awake all the time and tonight because I told him to be quiet and go to sleep he screamed in his younger sleeping brothers face and threw a … I'm very honest with my feelings yet he refuses or is incapable of seeing me. OP - I agree that your children see you as a soft touch and obviously think there are no consequences for their behaviour.I would advise that you explain, in a way they can understand, that certain behaviour isn't acceptable and that there will be consequences if they are naughty. Do you have enough funds for childcare ? (They must have been pre/primary age - I don't remember it at all but it has clearly burned into their memories!!) I find it really helpful to have a tight routine..doing similar tasks each day...what I mean is... breakfast...Having a wash...then straight to get dressed... Then whatever we are doing that day... Our mornings always start the same... Could you ask your husband to have a day off...so you can have some me time...it's important you deal with this together and you look after your own well being! Secondly...I am in no way an expert...i just want to try and offer some advice/support.I am currently pregnant, so I know how exhausting it can be trying to get through pregnancy with also managing another child/children.

But you have to follow through and be prepared for a lot of whingeing till they get used to the new order.And I get that at 20 weeks you are probably exhausted, but it sounds as though they need wearing out - is there a small children's play park near you where they can't escape and they can wear themselves out safely? If you believe in yourself, the DC will too. Im really struggling and often feel like my only escape is to go to sleep and not wake up.

I found having as little stuff out as possible for them to break or destroy. I am constantly nervous, heart racing, mood swings! Last night my brother had a go at me for shouting at her & something inside me just snapped. Meanwhile we knew my parents had gone to eat at a restaurant THIS SAME DAY. Never let the wee shits think they’ve got the upper hand. Forum membership is open to anyone residing in Australia. I also agree with the advice to get out of the house!!!! My 10 year old is my daughter who is a mother hen. To what extent can you meet these needs 3. I use to be good at things, now I can't even organise myself to clean the house, I stuff up everything I try, I get nervous, clumsy, panicky, angry over the tiniest things! I'm struggling so bad I can't do it anymore I feel so upset, I'm constantly telling them I love them, I reward all good behaviour I try and take them out but even when I do that they run off or play up, if I take them supermarket they throw stuff on the floor and break it like melons and stuff, or they just rub away and hide in rails. My son is a nightmare and I cannot cope: I can’t live with my 18 year old daughter anymore: Can't cope with 16 year old son anymore. Getting support – how much does it cost? Try and tidy toys out of reach, then take one thing at a time out to play with (duplo/play food etc). I never bothered. I feel so confused most of the time but what he says to me. I honestly cannot imagine looking after them while pregnant. There's no discussion, no negotiation, and it's used for all scenarios from whinging, back chat, through to fighting with her brother, or yesterday, throwing all her toys down the stairs then getting her 2yo brother to slide down them on a dressing gown Hitting is an immediate "3". Whenever I fail to cope up any emotional turmoils, excessive pressure or conflict, I distract myself from everything with over sleeping and over eating. Sooner or later, most of us who try to cope with depression feel so overwhelmed that all we can hold onto is: I just can’t do it. The awaken time I distract myself with internet. Be 'Kind' to yourself, you mind is still strong...just tired...like over revving an engine...pull back on the reigns.. Great start to healing by the way in having the courage to post. I do hope there might be something here you can use, I hope you can let us know how you are going Whispa.

My two just do not behave at all they are naughty from the moment they wake up till bedtime I have tried cutting out sugar, star charts, separate bed times I don't know what to do anymore. I just had a quiet menacing hiss, a death stare, and an air of uncontested authority! There are sadly a lot of people in the world who hurt others, seemingly more and more often, but there is no sense letting that dictate my life, deal with whatever as it comes.Â, Thanks for your response, best wishes to you and everyone on these forums having their own personal battles 👍🙂.

It would be a respite for you and would do your children good to have to fit in with behavioural norms (it could also highlight any behavioural disorder). Wipe the slate clean, and start as you mean to go on...which I appreciate is easy to say when you are not overwhelmed (I empathise as I am too, just in a different way) The fact you are pregnant too, you really need some support for your physical and mental health too, @SweetAsSpice Hi thanks for the reply there is the kids are a lot better for him than me if he tells them to sit down and just eat there dinner they will, if I ask they walk around eating etc for example.
