I NEED to vent. My children have to have the WORST listening skills in the world. Is it just a tough age? For them both?! I say let's go.... they run in opposite directions. AWAY from the van. Which way do I go? I look like the village idiot. Running after 2 kids who don't listen to mom. I feel like I am constantly nagging 2 kids, "Listen to mommy", "What did Mommy say just say?", "Mommy said no". Do they hear me? Do they care what I say.... Today has been really bad, if you can't tell. I need a mommy vacay. Bad. And, then there's whining. Is age 4 that age? Logen has been horrible lately. I don't know if it's just that he wants so bad to talk and tell us something or its just him being whiney. He cries ALOT. Over stupid stuff. Like, you can't have the muddy car in the house, or don't bite your brother. Tears- fit throwing. Thats all thats going on at my house. I am SOOOOOO ready to go back to school. I don't think I was cut out for this stay at home mom business. I lack patience I guess. I lack something. I get frustrated to easily. Maybe right now wasn't a good time for a post. I sound terribly insensitive. I love my children, I promise. Do you have any hints? What am I doing wrong?! Surely we can fix this? How do you get an 18 month old and an almost 5 y/o with special needs to listen and not whine? I keep thinking the combo of school and therapy will help for Logen, but I'm not seeing a change in behavior. He's mocking his younger brother. Granted, he never went through the stage Parker is in. Do we have to go through it now? I can't take 2 kids going through 'terrible two's' or whatever stage we are at right now. I'm still sore for one. When you hurt, you tend to be a little more cranky. Maybe thats the case. Logen's biting. At almost 5. That's not acceptable at preschool, for Parker's age- yes, not Logen's. If he does it to much, he gets kicked out. So, I could use some advice!!!!!!! :)
