I am seriously going to throw my kids out the window!!!

Christy · **I am seriously going to throw my kids out the window!!!**

For those who don't know me...no I won't...those who do know me...tell me not to!!!

No but seriously, they are driving me mad....it's a whole alpha male thing...one has to always be first...one has to always say "mine", one always has to push the other one, one has to always cry.....
I am losing my mind

I don't know if it's the move, if it's them being bored and having no friends, or if it's simply a stage...but man oh man....they are so OUT OF THE BOX these days.

Could it be spring fever or something?

augh!

Your post was so timely! My DS just screamed and threw things for almost 2 hours before falling asleep in exhaustion because he didn't want to nap and he was so tired. We are in the middle of packing for our move, none of us has slept well in a week and I think he is getting my flu. (The flu always has such great timing, doesn't it?) Still he just about drove me up a wall! GRRRR! I feel your pain!

Hang in there!

Christy put those cute little boys down and back away from the window!!!!!

I so feel your pain Christy! My girls are like that too. They always seem to be bickering or fighting or disagreeing about something or competing for my attention. Beleive it or not they have been home for the last 4 days they had a long weekend and they have not done too bad. I am still sane but I think part of it has been that we have been able to be outside all of those days! MAllory did have a major melt down this afternoon when we were going for a walk with my sil. I just ignored her I can she is old enough to catch up! And she did. after I was called some not so nice names.
So anyway we all have those days so just back away from that window!
:love:

Understand how you feel Christy! DD who's 5 and DS who is 23 months usually get along but there are times when he really bothers her! Last nite DS threw a fit in the kitchen because DH went out in the garage to work on something. I mean we are talking a full fledged fit, where he was laying on the floor trying to look under the door-screaming "Daddy! Daddy!" I just let him have his fit-there was no talking to him. Then he proceeded to get all the plastic cups out & throw them all of the kitchen floor!!! The windows were open in the house, so I'm sure the neighbors heard & thought he was being abused. Frustrating!!

I deal with this on a daily basis. Don't know what to tell you....I do think it's a stage....it just lasts for a long long time.

Oh and from your other post regarding PMS....it's always more difficult to handle this stage when PMS is around. I went through it last week and my boys are lucky they survived. Haha.

I understand! My boys are the same way! My youngest ds(4 1/2) had a crying fit tonight because my dh asked him to go upstairs and put pajamas on! He cried for at least a half hour!

Breathe in......Breathe out.....

Like everyone said we have all been there some more than others. We are also at those stages right now. Kaylin today decided that she would start blood curdling screaming in Walmart as soon as we walked in the door. I thought that she was going to stop but it proceeded for the next 10 minutes. I had 3 old ladies come up to her and tell her to hush child and 2 workers

I was so embarrassed

All because she didn't want to be buckled in the cart.
I think maybe you are on to something about spring fever. They know that it is getting nicer and want to be outside all of the time and when it is cold they don't understand why they can't go out. ugh Hang in there and if you feel like throwing them out the window call me I will be there to catch them. I could use some boys around here

That darn spring fever! This must be a problem for kids everywhere. DD has been a terror anytime we are out in public lately. At home, just a good sweet little girl, but get her out and she switched into another mode! Between that and my ds incessant talking this afternoon, (he just couldn't shut up!) I was ready to go nuts! I came home, and told dh that I was changing my name, and going to my room. If I hear "Mommy!" one more time......

Back up from the window .....

On the idea of who is first, gets to pick the story etc we have gone to the date. SO odd is my older child and even is the younger. So let's say that it is today (28th) and both kiddos want a certain thing if they can not figure it out then it goes to the date and it is even so the younger one picks. It works great for who shuts off the nightlight, who opens the garage door which video and the best part I am not the bad guy the date is.

Best of luck. Also, I find that if i can get my kiddos physically active then they and I are happier. Think obstacle courses, act like snake, frog, cat etc. .... hop on one foot, follow the leader ... anything.

HTH

Oh my!! Boy do I know how you feel. And I am sorry to say that they don't really grow out of it. Mine are 14 and 11 (almost 15 and 12) and they still fight over who is going to brush their teeth first (use the bathroom) AND WE HAVE THREE BATHROOMS!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH LOL Among many other things. I love the date idea. Odds and evens. I might have to implement that. Do you think it is too late???

I hope they settle down for ya!! Good luck!!
