Does your child ever just get on your nerves?

so refreshing to read this as my kids are exactly the same however my neighbour doesnt believe that kids shouldn't make a noise let alone tantrum and like to do a drum solo on my wall if my kids have a tantrum.

I expect if I ever am lucky enough to be a mum, no doubt my kids will drive me crazy to the point where I'll want to hand them over to the next person who walks throngh the door. I just mean it as a gentle reminder that you are lucky even if it doesn't always feel like that and maybe you can use it next time you feel like killing him.

Your post struck a chord with me because l was going to give similar advice to the OP. we tried for 8 years and whilst l knew it would be difficult l did have a shock when my son started growing up - awkward wasn't the word....! I wish you luck and hope you're not waiting much longer. Xxx

We're only human and you can't expect to feel happy 24/7 when you have demanding children going through their lovely stages..... Just know that it does pass and another lovely stage starts.

Ah but at least when they are little you can hopefully get them into bed nice and early and chill out!

My 12 yo spent the day with a friend yesterday, got dropped of by his friends Mum at 9pm and was still bouncing off the walls at 10. I had been at work, was very tired and wanted to go to bed while darling son was being silly and giddy and generally annoying the life out of me!!

But yes you wouldnt be human if your child doesnt wind you up sometimes.

my friend showed mine (3 & 6) this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pgPq4FGWfk

now ever what would you like for dinner turns into half an hour of them singing and the big one doing the actions and the little one trying to copy was cute the first couple of times now arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggh

I hate the screaming thing too, my OH's Granddaughter is nearly three and does this I just pick her up and put her in another room and close the door. Her Dad seems immune to this wailing which probably annoys me more than her

It's annoying when they get to the park and hate everything then moan when you leave because they want to go back, I try distraction techniques it works sometimes other times not, if all else fails I resort to bribery

Mine are between 17 and 25 now and I'd love to have them back as toddlers.
But then I remember my eldest's tantrums, he was deaf until he was 3 and couldnt make himself understood which frustrated him.
This stage does pass but is quickly replaced by another challenge
I also remember how bad you feel when they have been whiny and you later realise they are not well.
Son no 2 was driving me up the wall for 2 days and nights wailing and clingy and kept saying "dummy" then throwing it on the floor and wailing some more. I eventually realised he was trying to say "tummy" and he had a tummy ache
Even now they can drive me mad but I wouldn't be without them, well most of the time anyway.

I forgot to mention, my son is also speech delayed (well he is delayed in all areas of development). We only get uh oh and a rare mum. Trying to work out what he wants can be stressful and if you don't get it very quick he goes into violent tantrums.

Any parent who says that their child is an angel and does not get on their nerves are lying.
I remember putting my son in his playpen and turning up the music to drown out his crying. It was either that or wring his neck.
When you have children nobody can prepare you for the tantrums,sleepless nights and the all consuming needs that they have.

I doubt the human race would have continued to survive if we had known what being a parent is really like.
In saying all that I love my two.

^^^ that's what makes it ok to admit our kids crack us up, we can have a joke about it, and know to put them in a safe place and walk away.

I know it sounds awful but I could quite happily give mine away some days. Usually on these days I am usually found sat at the top of the stairs with a brew hiding from the little darlings! I love them to bits but there's only so much squabbling I can cope with in one day :-(
