Does your child ever just get on your nerves?

21 years later and they still get on my tits sometimes! But i love them dearly

Oops, my kids not my tits!

lol yes! Today especially, i have a nearly 5 and nearly 2 year old and a 8 month old they have annoyed the life out of me today, luckily they are all asleep now so this is my hour to myself! I don't drink either

DS really annoyed me in Sunday. He's 39!

You're certainly not alone - some days I joke that they are free to a good home and on the really bad days I'd offer the inducement of a bottle of wine (complete with straw!!) to anyone who could be bribed!! LOL

Oh and I am seriously looking forward to the start of term when DD will be starting school full time and DS going back to nursery 2 1/2 days and I may finally get to clean the bathroom and write my OU essay in peace!

I adore my kids - along with their Dad they are my favourite people in the whole wide world, but a combination of normal 'kid stuff' and the additional strains of having 2 with disabilities means that I am a better mum (and wife) for a bit of time away from the lot of them!

Has your son got all of his teeth now or is he still waiting on some? I only ask because how you describe him being, isn't dissimilar to how my youngest was when his big back teeth were coming through. He may just be feeling rough and out of sorts. It's not easy coping when they are so unsettled and agitated, especially when they cant express how they are feeling. I do hope things settle with him soon and he will be back to his normal happy self.

I'd like to offer you a ray of hope and say that as they get older they get on your nerves less. I had it brought home to me last week that this is total wishful thinking though. I had asked my seven year old to sit on the front passenger seat of my car and push the button to release the boot, thinking nothing could possibly go wrong. Some how he lost his balance, went to grab the steering wheel to steady himself and missed it, catching hold of the indicator switch instead and snapping it off. 2 hours down the local garage and £250 lighter in the bank and it is all fixed. I can safely say that said child hit just about every nerve in my body by causing that, even ones I didn't know I had :cool:

Chin up OP, only another 20+ years and he will leave home and give you some well earned peace.

How much older? Eldest DS is 29, and he has left home, but boy can he press my buttons, ditto the others who are also in their twenties, actually, my youngest DS is the only one of the four of them who is practically perfect!!;)

yep - its the terrible twos allright - designed to bring you to breaking point. been through it three times with my own kids and to some extent with the grandkids.
if all else fails - walk away! dump them somewhere safe, go off and watch Jeremy Kyle or anything distracting and calm down! YOU WILL SURVIVE THIS!
Its awful isn't it? this feeling that you could happily abandon them? its normal though. yet when the little bu99er is finally asleep and you look at them - doesn't your heart melt? if you don't get that feeling then you need to ask for help. because then you are overwhelmed and are not coping.

Hi

Just wanted to ask if your little one might be coming down with something. I tend to have a good old grumble when either of mine are being gits, then a couple of days later they'll be down with a full blown cold or whatever. Then I feel guilty for being so impatient with them.

Just thought if its out of character for him, he might be feeling grotty bu not really understand how to tell you.

DS is 4.5 and now can tell me. Today he was too poorly for the summer club trip - but demanded we go and get one of the biscuits they made yesterday to take on the bus

DD is 3 next week and is only now learning to tell me if her tummy hurts (had milk intol as baby and still struggles a bit with her tum, so this is frequent and she's only now being able to say).
