Ever get frustrated with your child(ren)?

Sure we all get frustrated with out children. They are becoming their own kind of person and we don't have as much imput anymore. We have to learn to do what we can and hope all our prior teaching will care them through to adulthood. Would certainly be nice if they would draw on our experiences and knowledge and save themselved some grief at times! This is a great question and am hoping that others will find it and respond also!!

Wow, a powerful question! My daughter will be difficult on purpose, just to see if she can get a reaction out of me. I used to yell, but finally realized it's useless and ends up hurting more. Most of our power struggles have to do over whether or not she's going to help with the chores; when she doesn't clean her room, I remove some things to see if she notices. If she doesn't, I'll give it about 6 months and if she still doesn't ask for it, I'll put it in the donation pile. I know that's not the best solution, but I'm at a loss. When it's someone else's child, if the parents are there, I let them handle it; if not, I'll sit them down and tell them they cannot act that way.

We all get frustrated with our children especially when they start thinking for them selves. They shouldn't do that until they leave home(HaHa)It would make our lives so much easier if they would just do what we wanted to. You have to state thnhe LAW then walk away. That is the only way to win. You have to then shut them out or go hide somewhere so you don't have to argue with them. I would some thims like to have hung mine up in the closet for a while. That or have them disappear for a couple of hours. not for long just a couple. really I love them. wouldn't know what to do with out them.
