Oh my gosh my head is banging, come home from work to the usual rows between the children, husband zoned out watching the cricket, the dog dragging mud through the house after I mopped the floor.
Very much a typical day in our household only difference is I'm sober!!
after continuous bickering I hear my 12 yrd old son screamed "she kicked me" 9 yrd old daughter screamed "No I never" Well I went a little crazy and shouted at the children they shouted back and I shouted louder. I shouted at my husband for singing in the shower while the middle of all this going on and the dog ran away to his bed.
Someone please tell me it gets easier!?
Applejack, my kids can drive me nuts too. The bickering, nagging, whining!! They can be a trigger for me. I Have started just leaving the room and taking some deep breaths or going outside when I feel overwhelmed. I am no longer going to let their behavior fuel wine consumption because it was so bad mentally and physically for me. Hang in there!! Kids are great but they can be a huge pain at times too!!
