What grates you..

about your children? And what ways do you deal with it or keep sane?

For me: DS1 is extreamly shy, has antiexty issues & fears galore lol oh & the whining argh
DS2 it has to be his agressiveness & the dangermouse type situations he gets into
To keep sane I try to get out of the house everyday & do something with my boys, in a social setting or something simillar, although that is when their disruptive behaviours' peak I find it helps me to have someone to talk to anyway

My lovely DS who is turning 5 is a real push over and just wants to please my friends kids all the time and is always thinking of them and wanting to save treats for them etc.
Its a great trait to have, but i would rather he do that to me.........nah just kidding, i would rather he do it to someone that shows appreciation to him and not expect it like everyone should bow down and do anything to please .............i worry that he will do sooooo much to please them and they will in turn just expect it to happen. or treat him like dirt.........we are always telling him that he doesnt always need to save his lollies for them etc...........I just can see what will happen in his future he will have NO back bone and get walked all over by little hussys!
I want to protect my boy but at the same time i want him to be able to protect himself from being TOO nice

Miss 13yrs.. All her huffing and puffying  whenever  I ask her to do something....I try to ignore it but it grates me hard.

Miss 8yrs... Copying her big sister's attitude but instead of the huffing and puffing its the stomping of her feet, and rolling her eyes...Grrrrr

Master 2.... His anger, He constantly says noooooooooo and gets wild when he doesnt get his own way and throws anything and everything near him.

Otherwise we are one big happy family lmao

 

Bailey has 1 thing that grates me the most out of everything!!! - eating with his mouth open!!! and its super noisy!! sound like a pig eating slop!!! i tell him everytime but the thing is all of DHs faimly (except for DH and MIL) eat like that!!!!

Astin ALWAYS has to be woken up at 8.30am on weekdays but without fail he will wake up at 7am on the weekends when we wana sleep in!!!!

Shoving all her food in her mouth at once only to spit it all back out again because she cant even chew!

Calling me Christy - little Madam Why cant I just be mum!

Rico teases/annoys Gia

Gia screaming at Rico when he's teasing/annoying her, she's soo loud!

 

Chickielou - your boy sounds like such a sweetheart!!  But I totally agree with you, that you don't want him to become a pushover, and that people will take his generosity for granted.

DD - That she's still not toilet trained, but knows exactly what to do!

DS - well he's only tiny, but he is annoyingly cute!

Whingy, grizzley way of talking especially when tired for both the big girls.  + Rebekah's cry is sooooo loud!!

Caden screams the house down when he doesnt get his own way, or if we take something off him, like the remote, he will pack a major tanty and the screaming hurts our ears!
He also does this sometimes at nappy time, he hates having his nappy changed and I HATE changing his nappy cos its such a battle
Other than that, I love him to bits lol
