[QUOTE="Hanging-On, post: 33486, member: 2325"] Margurite, I really wish I could be like you and others who are very nurturing and understanding. All of these things just make me VERY angry, and I know why too. I'm "tired". I'm tired of working fulltime and then not having the time (let alone) ANY energy left to be patient and nurturing. I'm tired of everything having to do with him, and all his needs. I'm tired of not having any enjoyment in life that's not stressed out because their screaming and fighting all the time. I tired of not being able to turn my head to do some chore without something happening. It's like having a toddler around all the time, but difficult child is old enough to now fight me on EVERY thing when I say "come with me, I have to do this or that", so I can watch him.

I try to teach them their chores and duties, so WE can do all of this as a family, but kids are kids and always fight those things, and well a difficult child...fights more.
