As you all know i have 3 kids george and rebekah 6 1/2 old twins and james 5 yrs old. Am finding it hard at the moment. Seems they are all acting like teenagers all ready seem to have a strong personality and the attitude that they are always right want to do as they want eat what they want or even james especially not eating his dinners at all and are constantly on the go. the boys last night were fighting and george gave james a black eye and then james kicked george[?] the fighting and shouting is on a constant daily basis i feel exhausted and not in control. Ive tried all the usual parental things letting them choose what they want for dinner, ive tried sending them to their room when they are cheeky, dont listen or dont do as theyre told, tried a sticker chart to reward good behaviour etc etc the list is endless. I now feel as if im constantly shouting at them and i hate it because my mum always shouted at me as a kid and i hated it and i vowed never to put my kids through it and here i am [?] This is not doing my anxiety and panic feelings any good and after ive done so well tackling my anxiety and panic i now have another challenge to face. i feel such an idiot and a faliour and feel now im a bad mum out of control and feel as they get older the fights temper tantrums etc are going to get worse
