Today school didn't go too well. D was very easily distracted and made the most insane mistakes on his math. Not little oops added wrong mistake, but big totally not paying attention mistakes. He is moody this afternoon. C wanted to come in and do some Starfall on the computer and D said he wanted to watch him I said ok but instantly it was him messing around so I told him to to go play instead. So of course he started crying and yelling I'm mad and so on. I went and calmly explained to him that "C is in there trying to learn, and he can't do that if you won't sit quiet. I told you once to stop and you didn't so I had to tell you to leave him alone." Then C went out and tried to play with him and he just sat there crying and fighting about a toy. I just don't know. I guess I just don't know how to handle a six and a half year old boy. I feel like I am always reprimanding him, and I hate that, but he just doesn't listen sometimes. He can be very rude and mouthy. I am just so frustrated about it. I love my son to pieces but sometimes I feel like we just aren't building the right kind of relationship.

Hi there! I'm also 21 weeks pregnant. My DS 6 years old is also a handle full. I really thought that I would die during the last two years. He was so difficult. This year he is much more like a little boy, and not a monster. Ha ha. We all love them. Just keep on trying your best. All will be ok.

I have a six year old boy too, and he had a meltdown like that today in church. He cried off and on the whole hour, and I had to keep taking him out and reprimanding him. He'd be fine for a couple minutes, then start again. I have no advice to give, just wanted to let you know your not alone!!
