Shaking and angry

The temper tantrums have been off the chart, the disobeying, etc. I can't wait for them to leave today.

SS was told he couldn't watch movies in his bedroom until he behaved and listened so when dad wasn't looking, he tromped off to his room and then I hear movies. DH heard them too so went & took away the DVD player.

They share a room here because we only have a small 2 bedroom house. (We're looking into moving soon would like to see them have their own rooms, but they share at Psycho's too). So now SD is pissed because she can't watch movies either. Well, they were told when the old TV & DVD player went in there that the first time it was misused (meaning after hours watching tv, etc.) they would lose it. The TV & DVD just got put in their room THIS WEEKEND and they've all ready lost it.

Of course, SS was throwing a tantrum when DH told him he had to wait to watch movies anyway. Which is why DH told him he had to behave in order to earn the privilege of watching movies in his room. Then he just decided to do it anyway, and so it's now lost until next weekend they are here. Of course with that, SS threw major tantrum. Ugh, I am ready to explode.

I am SO GLAD I am not a mother. I obviously have zero tolerance for kids.

It doesn't sound you have zero tolerance for kids, it sounds like you have zero tolerance for bullshit. there is a difference. Wink

I am mother and can't wait for BFs to go home. They are so badly behaved. There father is unsure how to dicipline and bm just doesn't bother so I think its time for me to engage, bf has been following right behind me and starting to take the lead but I still can't wait for them to leave. I am lucky the bf is aware of how his kids behaved and is embaressed by it. So he open to correcting it. Still 7 can't come fast enough.

I absolutely agree! SD may be upset but it is a good way to show them how to make each other accountable.

Regardless, I have a SS6 and although we CAN hook up the cable to his TV we don't. He just has his DVD's. And when he misbehaves we take away his movies. He would need the cable cord to hook it up. My parents were the same way only because there are a lot of inappropriate things on tv.

You just have to stay ontop of them. When I feel my SS is at this point I tell him to sit down at the table and study. I buy the workbooks Reading, writing. Spelling, math. And if he needs help I am more than willing. After an hour or so he is back to normal and once I feel like he has been "punished" enough I ask him why it is he got in trouble and what the better way of behaving is. He definitely needs to apologize to both of you!

I am not at the age your SK are but I hope you get through this and never say never it's different with your own you just automatically grow a patience! it takes practice.

But that behavior should never be tolerated!
