Feelings
Does any other mom out there feel used and abused? I dont mean in a physically beaten up way. I feel like I have to nag and remind and do everything. I thought I had gotten past my bad mood and breaking point Saturday but yesterday and today have been the pits. I feel like I have to tell and remind the boys to do everything. Breakfast is a battle in the mornings, I get them up at 5:40-5:45 and then get breakfast going (cereal, waffles, oatmeal, pancakes) just after they hit the table. We give them until about 6:00-6:05 to eat and then it is time to wash hands brush teeth and get dressed. I feel like at 6:00 that I have to nag and nag and nag to get them to finish. We are trying to get them to bed earlier so they can be up and conherent enough to eat. We do time outs and it helps, but this momma is at the end of her rope. I feel like I have to scream to get their attention, and I hate doing it I feel bad but I can't get anything through their thick sculls. I know I know they are only 5 and 2 (almost) but it still makes me mad. So we are going to try this in my house, any time I ask them to do something and they dont do it or get side tracked I'm going to simply as them, "Do you remember what you are suppose to be doing"? If that doesnt work then they will get a time out. This momma is tired of the monkey business, some might think I'm way to hard on my boys but I'm just tired of doing everything.
