Today has been frustrating in small little ways. My son is endlessly asking me for things all day. He wants a friend to spend the night, he wants money for games stuff, he wants me to take them to Dutch brothers for a drink, he wants a ride to the swimming pool... etc. Then in between asking me for all this he wants to sit and play with the lighter we keep to light our bbq... and it’s stupid that I won’t let him do it. And he tells me that I am not giving him good reasons for saying no.
Just getting on my last nerve. I’m making fish for dinner and as I’m breading the fish, he is telling me I’m doing it wrong... blah blah blah. Can I run away from home?

I’m telling you ... it never ending. Each day for us is like 6 for a neighbor (example) with son same age. It’s taken a toll. My personality is now in a different category. In other words, I think I’m crazy
Totally relate to this today! Just put my daughter down for bed and this is exactly how our day went. I can’t even count the amount of times that she said “I’m bored, mommy.”
She wanted to go to get ice cream, but when the ice cream store was unexpectedly closed it was apparently my fault. Then, we had to go to the splash park. Expect, I had a doctor’s appointment and the doctor was 1.5 behind... then we had visitors over without knowing... it just wasn’t her day!
You’re not the only one, I feel like such a bad mom for my child to be so “bored” all the time. I even feel guilty for taking the time to take myself to the doctor because it took so long.
Hi- I had a chuckle with the picture you posted LOL
I get those days too, usually it happens when my almost 7 yo getting sick... He requests all the things I can't do or give to him, he looks for a reason to fight with me (at least that's how I feel), Saying "No" all the time, so he is not really fun to be with when this happens.
I had that yesterday.....
Sometimes I want to run away too..... I just stopped doing anything for him and removed myself. It was the end of the day, so I just brushed his teeth and told him to go to sleep.
I usually give him a bath before bed, but I skipped.
I don't know how other parents do in this situation, but I just turned on Netflix and tried to empty my mind. This way, I don't have to yell at him anymore at least.
I hear you. Just remember that even though their bodies look grown up they are still a child inside. My daughter may give me attituded and acts tuff, when dealing with fear and pain, but i try to remember to see her behind the attitude and harsh words she says at times. I cry and pray in private but i give her love inspite of her reactions. When i have done that she stops and apologises and becomes open to talking it out. Its very hard but worth it.
So true. I really believe the most important thing I can do is love and accept my son how he is. He already meets so many people that are negative toward him, he needs to know he is accepted at home.
