My oldest then says "when ihave a baby ill dump him off on you" I then said to him, "I raise you by choice and work so you and your brothers can have extra" he then called me a shitty mom. So I retorted back with, "im the only one you have because your bm left YOU with ME"...I feel like shit about this, I am over tired and I need to go to work now...ITS NOT LIKE I ASK THEM TO BABYSIT SO I CAN BAR HOP!
UPDATED:
After talking to my kids and apologizing for the things I said they said they were upset because they wanted to play video games and my eldest didn't even hear what I said...when I said I was sorry he asked for what. When I told him he laughed and said he was more mad about usage controls on his phone because of grades.
Your baby is not your kids' responsibility to "watch". Unless you pay them, raise your kid yourself. I cannot STAND to watch parents force older kids to watch their babies. Just like if it was your first and only child, you get up when the baby is up. You need to grow up.
When a family is a family everyone needs to pitch in and help! I think they maybe feeling a little jealous. TALK to your children. Obviously you love them and want the best for them but sometimes it is hard for kids to see the whole picture. Have a Mom and son night. Take them out for pizza and talk... let them tell you how they feel and you tell them how you feel. tell them that you need their help and you know it isnt their baby but if you are a family it is their responsibility to step up when another in in need. I wish you the best!
"im the only one you have because your bm left YOU with ME"...I feel like shit about this
Yeah I'd feel like shit about that too. Sounds like you are waay too stressed tho. And if they're 17 7 14 they can help out a lot more than what you ask of them. Idk, whats said has been said, you all need a time out.
No big deal. Every kid in my family got called a little fucker at least a million times growing up.
