My dd stomps her foot. It is a pattern, I say do something and she stops once.

Re: ( ) Seriously testing my ability as a parent

You are not a horrible parent. You are trying your best. It may not get better but the zoloft will help you cope with these things.

I hope they do get better , you are doing the right thing.

I just started back on Zoloft about 10 days ago, so I know that it's going to kick in here soon. There are alot of other "stressors" in our life right now, and I know that it will get better. The ups and downs of parenting, right? It makes me seriously question my abilities (re: subject lol). He has become so agressive... .and just mean. Yesterday, he was yelling out the door that his older brother was fat. He bought a flashlight at a garage sale on Saturday, and it has a radio and an emergency siren on it that is really loud. I try and let him have stuff like that, because it's his passion - anything mechanical. He kept making the thing beep....over and over and over. I asked him to stop, tried explaining that it was for emergencies. Explained the "never cry wolf" thing....that didn't work. Then, took the approach that the neighbors probably didn't want to hear it all day, and he responded yelling "I have only been playing with it for 3 hours, I'm not talking to you! Get out of my room!"! I then said that if I heard it again, it would be taken away permanently. He freaked out, and slammed the door....I am sorry to vent - It's just hard to get anyone else to understand. And then people look at you like you are suck a horrible parent. > > > And my sanity....> > > > Do you find, or have you found that when your children are going through growth spurts they completely test your sanity...ability as parents, as people? I am obviously venting right now...but, I am exhausted. He is so unhappy right now...and loud, oh my. He has been so angry, the angry outbursts are killing me. He will yell and scream....and never wants to talk about anything. Makes life hell with taking meds, eating, getting his way, behaviour socially...is pushing me to my limits. He has been very manipulative in public, because he knows when and where I will discipline, and when and where I can't. He won't sleep at night. The motormouth is constant right now....> > > > I am going to lose my mind!!!! Sorry - please, somebody tell me I'm not crazy, and how long it's going to last...because he can't get in to see his doctor until next week. > > > >>

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” - Steve Jobs
