Maybe....

So the morning has already gone bad.

Why oh why do I have a stubborn-I-think-I-know-everything 6 year old?

Trust me, I have tried explaining to him that I am not out to get him by setting rules...they are for his safety.

I have tried explaining that I am his Mother and I love him and only want the best for him and sometimes that means he cannot have what he wants.

I have tried explaining that I do not have the time to fight with him about every little thing because his siblings need me too.

I have tried.

And yet I feel as if I have failed...badly.

I thought after a good night's sleep {them not me} that things would work out today...but oh no...it started all over again.

I have taken things away, screamed, yelled, cried, prayed and still I have no clue what to do.

I am scared if I do not get him "reined" in before he is older...it will be ugly.

Yes, I do not want to break his spirit but his spirit is breaking mine.

So what to do?

Let us hope that this is just a phase.

I guess I should be happy he is not a bad kid, just a stubborn-I-do-not-have-to-listen to you kid. I guess I should be happy he is healthy and thriving as any other 6 year old should.

Maybe I have the issues.

Maybe I need more sleep, too bad no one can help me in that department.
