so tired and annoyed

This is a vent. I'm so tired of how the kids treat me these days. Now it's the younger one, the one I call Piglet on here. She's got ADHD Combined, IOW, the severest form of ADHD according to the doctor. To me, it's a mixed blessing and a curse. She gets so violent and so hard to deal with. I just don't know what to do anymore. She's very disrespectful. She even hit me at church last night. We were at choir practice. (I don't sing, the kids do) When she had her choir practice, it was a very hard night and I felt bad for her leader. But I did appreciate how she and the rest of the kids in her group handled it, that's for sure. They came up with some ideas what to do when you feel bad. Piglet had wanted to tell her leader, Mrs. R, something but thought she didn't hear her. So Piglet screamed. There's a rule you're not allowed to scream, but raise your hand if there's something you want to say. And if you don't obey, you need to leave the room. ITU and respect that rule. Piglet nearly made Mrs. R cry. Mrs. R is really trying to figure out how to deal with her and her problems there. And I am too here at home. I am so beside myself in all this. I know the youth pastor has tried to help too and I do remind her of what he's said... she has a crush on him and I let her know he won't be happy when he hears about how she's behaving. She says at choir, she's not screaming, but "steaming." She was screaming, whether she's steamed or not. I'm so tired. And I'm tired of my dh stepping in at times when they really need to respect me as a mom. They don't. I do get very upset and I think that's why my dh steps in but I really think it would be helpful if he stood by me in agreement than "taking over" the situation. He's got a rare blood disorder - he could die from it. And if he does while they're still kids well then I'll have to deal with them alone. I know I sound selfish, but how will they respond to me once he's not around? Or just when he's out now, in general? Like when he's at work or something. We need to get a handle on this now. I'm tired of them talking back at me. I'm tired of being hit, kicked, etc and they complain they're being punished so much. Well, duh. I'm at a loss. But I love them and want to keep homeschooling.  |
