Still Tryin's new thread

[S.T. _I Made It!]

Nikki. Ain't it tho? I did try to fix up a little bit today, but H isn't even home from work yet, and I kinda have a stomach ache. Some cauliflower didn't like me today.

Sooooo, oh well for fixing up.

Today was pretty rough. I've really got to figure out what to do with s8 and s3. s8 was suppose to go to cub camp but it got rained out today, so I thought I'd let him have the boys come here for the day...he was so excited about it and shocked that I said that. Well, they're all here and immediately all bored. So I say they can go ahead and play the video games. Well, CJ (s8) starts playing himself and just being quite selfish, so I make him give the controller to the other boys first. That's how it all started and then off and on CJ is griping as usual and whining about how it's not fair blah blah. Then even a couple of the other boys get annoyed with him and don't want to play with him.

I'm just like, ug. what can I do? I try to keep everyone nice and having fun, but CJ just seems like a brat half the time and even two of the boys stopped playing with him.

It drives me crazy cuz whenever I try to do nice things for him, he is never grateful and even later says he was so bored and gripes blah blah blah. Then I've got the 3 year old throwing dirt in the house, throwing everything on the floor, going outside naked, pulling out my plants, pouring water on our couch, and who knows what else.

I hope I didn't create all this. I'm so distraught that I went on Amazon and bought 2 books about discipline and etc.

anyways. I did raise my voice several times, but I think I handled most of it all okay. I definitely could have freaked out because it was pretty bad, but I never did. might have teared up a little at one point, but I'm okay.

Wish I could have some kid military nanny come over and straighten em up!
