Bad couple of days...

[artymom]

I'm having a bad couple of days. My kids have been sitting on the last shread of my very last nerve - so much so that I feel like my medication isn't even helping. (Which I know isn't true... but frustrating!) And it's not like they're being devil children. They were yesterday, but today they're not so bad. They've been arguing some, yes. But even when they're being just loud kids I'M DONE! If they start singing "So Call Me Maybe" again I'm gonna lose it.

I've already yelled at them in the car twice today. They're so LOUD.

I know I'm going to have bad days still... but I didn't expect them to be just as frustrating as they were before. Color me surprised once again. Someday? I'll know what to expect.

Thank you for being patient with my vent. I just needed to tell someone.

are you or your children diagnosed?

[artymom]

Yes. I am (Anxiety and ADHD Inattentive), and oldest daughter (12yo) is actually starting a psych eval this week because her anxiety is going haywire. It is taking a lot of effort to deal with what she is going through.

I would love to hurry her dx along, but taking time to have it assessed properly is more important. Right now all we know is that she has GAD, but frankly we've known that since she was in 1st grade and have always been able to handle it with relaxation techniques. Her dancing also helps a ton, the physical activity is great. There are lots of ADHD symptoms that are coming out in her, really for the past few years (she's going in to 7th grade)... but I was in total denial.

Oh God, i hear ya girl, sometimes i get so mad i feel like i am gonna explode lol.

Daughter wont get a job or find an apartment, and she is supposed to start school in like 2 weeks. Every time i come home and see her laying around watching tv i just want to scream. Its like i work 2 jobs, im in pain because i need surgery, and then come home to a pile of dishes and mess and have to make supper and do laundry. Grr. At least she has a routine. Sleep til noon, watch tv and play facebook til 8 pm, and then go out drinking til 2 or 3 am.

Its tense here. LOL

Omg too, i HATE that "Call Me Maybe" song. It is annoying. When the kids were little they used to dance around singing, "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?" etc. I wanted to die. It never made my husband as mad as it did me, but i literally wanted to tear my hair out. It would usually continue and get worse and worse and it was like poking a cornered animal with a stick and finally i would end up having a fit and screaming, "Oh my f-ing GOD can you SHUT the fck up?!?!?!" and every one would look at me like im the bad guy...jeez....lol

If they are little and get to fighting, this is a fun punishment. They have to sit on the floor facing each other and hold hands for 5 minutes. When they are done, they have to give each other a hug and tell them that they love them. I used to do this to my kids and they would be SO MAD. It was funny. LOL

I feel the exact same way sometimes with my kids. If my husband wasn't around, I don't know what I would do... especially at the end of summer. The school year is scheduled to begin soon and I keep singing the Christmas song "It's the most wonderful time of the year" to myself...

This sounds like me when I was young... I don't know how my poor mother put up with me
