So we changed the clocks today...I hate the day after because the kids are cranky and I am angry. I have been getting after my daughter all day because she won't listen. I have went up to her and looked her in the eye...and everytime I go near her she makes these patronizing sounds. I just get angrier. SHe has been doing this all day. I am wound so tight that I am literally going to explode.

I can't handle this anymore. No one will help us when it comes to her. ANd right now my husband is coming home and she doesn't care. He has talked to her from work and everything. She would just rather watch TV. I don't want to put my son to bed yet and leave her unattended because I don't trust her. WHen I go lay down with him she gets into things and steals things. I have had most of my scrapbooking things stolen this way.

Sorry, I feel like I am totally yelling but I have to get it out somehow....I just am sitting here trying not to yell anymore...I am done for the night...I QUIT!

How old is your daughter?

I think we all have them days! I ahve been moody and tired and just peeing all day today! I am only 4.5 weeks but I feel much further.. I had a friend ask me if I am showing already today.. I am I guess... a little I know I have that baby fat from the other 2 boys but Its hard to suck it in now so I look 3 months prego.. Maybe it will smooth out soon and I dont blow up!

You poor thing! I go through that with my daughter too sometimes and then I feel so bad afterwards for getting so upset with her. Welllllllllllllllll...congrats to Tiffany!

I have nothing to suggest, sorry. I just got ignored at that age, LOL, hey it worked out alright in the end.

I am going through that with my 3 year old! He is getting so bossy too & I wonder if I need to ease up cause then I won't seem as bossy to him? I just think maybe he is getting bossy because of me. Yeah I just put my kids to bed & they were kinda grumpy. No naps lately & so that has been hard. Oh & to top it off I have started my period (I know too much info)...the thing is is that I haven't had one in 4 years! I was pregnant, breastfed for a year...pregnant again, breastfed for another year... And now I get to be a normal woman again :o( So if you think your day is sucking LOL...think of me! haha ;o) I am not looking forward to my girl being a teen! She is hard to handle as it is! She was born with attitude! ahhhhhhhh! Good luck. ;o)

Hang in there Taylor. Better days will come.
Janet "Jax" B. Nov 5, 2007, 12:09am EST
I would say that I'd trade you, but my daughter is 10...will be 11 right after Christmas also....it's not an improvement...LOL. Though, I can say that I sympathize with you. I know what it's like...I have a 14 yr. old also.

That's the nice thing about computers. Type as loud as you want!!!
Janine D. Nov 5, 2007, 7:33am EST
Vent away, we're here for you. I believe nothing can make you crazier than your own kids. My 12 year old son just spent the whole weekend being grounded for major sassing and not listening. It's enough to drive a sane woman around the bend. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
Taylor ~hopes no one forgets her!~ Blue Nov 5, 2007, 10:39am EST
thanks for the support!

Venting to us is good and safe. Let it all hang out. AS for your daughter, she is an expert at pushing your buttons, and the only way you can stop that is not to react when she does---very hard to do. But they do grow up.
Jaime R. Nov 5, 2007, 12:37pm EST
I hope things are better today!
Ginger C. Nov 5, 2007, 1:01pm EST
Let it out! or it will build up and then it will blow, and not at the right time or place!

I went to bed last night at 7!
Phyllis R. Nov 6, 2007, 6:46pm EST
Well by the time I got here to read, it is two days later, --- hope things are going much better now!! I know it has be difficult for the kids, because it it awful for adults!! :)
Bonnie S. Nov 7, 2007, 9:10am EST
I hope things are better now.
Denise B. Nov 7, 2007, 6:31pm EST
I hope you are feeling better now

Victoria, I want you to know you are not alone. My 13 year old boy is ADHD and lately he will try to get away w/o taking his meds. He picks on my six year old tremendously and it just drives me crazy. My husband is hunting pretty much all the time he is not working, I know this will fill the freezer but what about me.

There are days that I do say, I QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How old is your son if I can ask?
Pam H. Nov 8, 2007, 10:39am EST
There have been a couple of times I have gotten so upset, I take off out the door and walk as fast as I can until I am calmed down.

I know this will not work for you since you cannot leave your daughter alone, the one thing I am lucky about is my 18 year old gets along wonderfully with my six year old. They are very close.
