Just took my oldest to school 30 minutes ago and have had it for the day. We started the day with the worst tantrum yet. My son is 6 years old and back mouths us like a teenager. We are at our wits ends. We have taken tv away for the day, week, month, sunmer....it goes on for too long this way. I'm so angry I feel my health is going bad. Top it all off his younger brother acts out just to be like his older brother. We are also trying to get through the three-nager stage and get him all potty trained so we can look into preschool for him.
I've heard that teenage brothersbcan be a handful with attitude and fighting but if it is anything worse than I already have I'm going to loose it. Hope it can get any bit better.
Just got to say all you stay at home moms are amazing. I've been at it since March when we moved. Before I worked 2 days a week and had some social time with adults.

I hear ya! My push-it-all-buttons child is my 13 year old son. His anger and defiance is getting to me & my partner.
I have been a stay at home mom for 6 years but I also ran a home daycare on top of it. It’s not easy at all.
Hugs momma❤️🤗

It's to the point I don't want to go anywhere with my kids or visit other people's house.
