The kids are driving me crazy...

I dont know what to do any more. The boys fight all the time over very stupid things. They fight with Emme and she is now picking up the bad habits from the boys. The boys talk back to me all the time and talk like crap to me too. Im to the point where I dont want to be around any of them most of the time. I need to get away for a weekend but I never could we never have the money and the way DH's job is we could only get away for one day and then I would have to drive the kids 2 house away just to get a babysitter for them. tHis sucks so much right now. Heck if I could just go out and do things with out the kids just once in a while that would be nice too but DH sleeps all day and by the time he gets up I have to stary making dinner and then he leaves to go to work and if by chance he gets up earlyer he is on his PC the whole time and he never hears the kids fighting enless I go and bug him or sit on the bed and sigh. The boys are bring me to tears a lot latley. Heck I would be happy if I could just go to a Weight Watchers meeting if we had the money for me to go but that will never happen. We dont even have the money to get the boys clothes supplyes for school and dont know when we will and they need pants and shirts so bad. Oh well I guess Sorry for complaing so much but I need to get it out before I go crazy.

Kerri, BIG ((((HUGS)))) TO YOU!!! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Have you tried talking to DH about the whole thing? He needs to know that it takes him also to run and discipline this family. As far as the children, they need to know that you are not frustrated or sick of them cause they will continue to act this way. I believe that when a parent is tensed or stressed then the kids are too. If I were you I would just walk out when DH is on the PC and go somewhere just by yourself. Just tell him you need time to yourself and you will be back later. You don't need to get permission from him. But that is just me, if this was happening to me I would be very mean and mad at DH until he got the picture.

Kerri, put your crockpot to use, hand dh the kids and get out of the house!! lol Also if you have a baby monitor turn it up all the way and put the other end wherever Dh is, he is bound to hear them then :)


I am saying a prayer for you and hope you can feel better.


I have been wondering where you were, glad you are back just not under the circumstances.
