Why when kids dont get there way the first thing out of there mouth is I hate you. When things dont go there way I hate you. Did I do something wrong in raising my kids, I gave them everything they wanted and needed, but it just seems like why do it if they Hate me so much.

well that is the way it is may be they have got it from some where may be the television, most of them get this kind of stuff from the television or from the school or from the neighborhood, or some place else. what is important is do they really mean it, most of the time it is mot so, they just say that cause they feel which is totally natural kids do that to gain attention, this is one of the type where the need attention and they use this type of thing kids dont like to be alone, you would have noticed that they feel good when you give a sad face when they say that, just dont worry about it, it just a phase in there growth. i hope you understand.

That is what my parents said also, I sure wish they would grow up, cause I sure hate hearing it, But I guess someday maybe they will learn the works I love you mom instead of I hate you.

first question is, how old are they? If they are preteen or teenagers, that is the first thing they will do, they will get you where it hurts the most, they will wear you down until you give in. if they are younger children, it could just be something they heard and said it and got a reaction out of you so they will continue doing it to get the same reaction out of you.

I am sure the younger child her it from his older sister, but I sure wish I could get it to stop, but I guess it is just something I will have to deal with.
