OMG when will it end.. Vent

[iwanttostayhome]

First my daughter kicks a girl in the ear sending her to the hospital.

Next she hits a boy because he wants to play in the water.

(Yes she has done some counciling this week because of it all)

Then my son uses the hair trimmers and gives my daughter a new bangs

Then today they start peeling paint off my door.

What Next........    I love my  kids ...I love my kids......I love my kids ... lol

I am thinking because of all of this that I am done having kids lol.

I hope that things get better. My daughters attitude sure has changed for the better though after a long talk and taking every fun thing outta her life for a month.

Am I being to soft or to harsh.

If you read this please leave a comment.... Thanks for reading my vent.

Jun. 20, 2008 at 3:03 AM I have 4 girls that could give a bunch of boys a run for their money. I look at it like this, if you are not hard on them now, then they will think this behavior is acceptable and will wind up doing HARD time later in life. Kids love to test the boundaries of their parents and will test it often. Being firm and CONSISTENT is the best way to teach kids that there are things you can do an things you can't do. Also some behaviors are due to changes in a child life, either it being a change in routine,absent parent or other family member, being frustrated, and many other things. My daughter, who is normally a good child in school, threatened another child with scissors shortly after my mom died in January of this year. After a good long talk, she knew it was wrong but wanted someone else to understand how bad she hurt. She got better before school ended. I wish you all the best and yes, sometimes we have to keep our cool and remind ourselves, that we do love our kids.

Jul. 18, 2008 at 7:57 PM We have had weeks like that as well .   i cant say you are being too  harsh  or not. children can be so different.  We have done the same thing .. taken  everything out of my  dd s room  EVEN THE LIGHT BULB!.   We learned that  after months of trying everything else .  That when my husband eats lunch with her , her behavior changes.    I guess   her  misbehaving rooted from lack of time with her.   shes almost 12 now and things are  different.  Now her "life" is soccer and thats what out leverage is. It kills her to think we would make her  go to practice  and demand she sit the  bench for a game.  that's waht  not turning in  home work or not finishing chores does.
