Well, today started out like any other Saturday, but then my kids way went off the handle.I am supposed to drive to my sister's stay for a few days, and check out a camero that I am thinking about buying. As of now I drive this little festiva (ok, laugh but I get almost 50 mpg) anyhooooo....my kids hate this car for travel, my 13 yr old will get to use it here on the ranch if I find a replacement. Most teens would do ANYTHING to say they have their own car.Well, I asked my kids to pitch in and help get ready to go...they won't do a DAMN thing.My 9yr old hauled off and bit my 13yr old, then my 13yrold says she don't care, do NOT let her alone with the 9yr old if I love her(the 9yr), and it goes on and on and on...all day like this...needless to say, I didn't get out of here soon enough to go tonight, and now they don't even give a shit whether or not they are grounded for the next month!!At my wits end, and not dealing, It isn't like I DON"T take time for me, ( got off for a bit last night with a girlfriend) but, at this point I CAN'T there is no place to send them and no one to watch them for this weekend...I cannot even let them alone for 5 minutes!...any advice? I do know that I am the parent, but I am loosing it....ugh!!!

hey babe... try to hang in there.you know that I'm not in favor of hitting kids but there are times!No adult should ever hit a child but sometimes I wonder how to give them that healthy dose of fear that should accompany bad behavior.But you know that this day will pass and they will be angels again in no time. Mine always returns to the angelic state eventually

Of course it passes, but man! lol, I never know if it is me having a hard day and not dealing with em, or if they are the ones having the hard day. Obviously we all had a hard day...here is to hoping today is better!
