But why is S only a brat at home?!
I swear, I don't get it. At school/summer camp wherever he's fine, at grandma's he's a little angel, at dad's he's mostly good but for me....ugh. I don't get it? He hits me, screams at me, throws temper tantrums, he doesn't do this anywhere else. if its not ME, why does he only do it around me?
This morning was so bad. he's been at my parents a lot just due to the summer schedule, he stayed on vacation with them a few extra days while I came back to work, now he's going to camp at my mom's church so she's been picking him up and I'll pick him up @ their house.
Yesterday we went swimming, had a great time, then it was time to go and he left fine but on the walk back home (around the corner) he got mad, started calling names, hitting. We talked about it later and he said he wanted me to carry something, I reminded him he has to TELL me that or I don't know. Of course then he was mad at me for being rude and "trying to make him feel sad" (I wasn't being rude OR trying to make him sad just explaining how his behavior made me feel).
Then this morning he woke up in a bad mood, I left him alone and he was fine within a few minutes, he ate breakfast then when it was time to get dressed it started all over again. Crying, hitting, screaming. He said he's never listening to me again, and never talking to me again. When he asked for help I helped and he screamed that I was hurting him (which I wasn't and it wasn't a sensory issue, just being difficult), then when I said time for shoes he started swatting at me and calling me names again.
I just don't understand WHY he only does this at home? i don't mean to sound like my 7 yr old but "its not fair!" :'(
