so so so sick of being the bad cop with DS2 ALL THE TIME

[MSWR0319]

Argh. I am so sick of being the one that enforces rules and means it. DS2 is upstairs SCREAMING at the top of his lungs that he hates me and WHY!!! I want to go hide.

I so get it. DS was screaming bloody murder at me today for over an hour because I was enforcing rules. Meanwhile, DH was making comments about how DS won't listen. Then once DS had calmed down DH gave right into him. I hate being the only parent who has a backbone. However, I do think the pp are right. DS knows I'm always there for him. I am the one DS always wants to help console him or snuggle with.

I'm sorry, hillview. I find it totally mentally/physically/emotionally exhausting disciplining kids and some days feel like that is all I do all.day.long.
