There'd be days like this!
Boy she wasn't lying, but what about weeks??
This week has been HELL!! I'm going to just start within the last 5 hours. Miss A has been CRABBY! She cries all the time, screams, fights with brother, and is just a HUGE PITA!! I finally thru my arms up at 915AM and called the doc. She's had a cold all week i thought maybe her ears are bothering her. They wanted me to come in one hour. No problem we're coming. WELL NOTHING other then a cold is wrong with her. Ears fine, throat fine, drainage yes but she'll get over it. I talked to the Ped. about how frustrated I am with her. Nothing works. She has such a temper, she throws everything when she's mad. You can rationalize with her (OK i know what 2 year old CAN you rationalize with!?) She's been up most the night this last week and I'm just up to here with it.
I asked about OT (occupational therapy), ADHD, Autism, psychologist, whatever just something to help me with her. The response was can't test for ADHD and Autism till they are 6, why do you want a psychologist? and have you read any books. I have researched ADHD and not really seeing it in her!?
I was prepared for this response and i proceeded with I'm just so frustrated and I'm looking for answers/solutions. Maybe she's just strong willed but i need to talk with someone how to handle it. I have the books, great ones but I'm totally lost right now and am on the verge of a mental breakdown!
She concluded with I think shes just strong willed and you had an easy 2 year old with your son you'll weather thru it.
Now please pay $95 and no we don't give discounts for private pay.
Am i shocked, no. I knew they wouldn't do anything for her cold. I was just praying that maybe her ears hurt resulting in the very crabby behavior.
Oh i guess she did suggest getting her in a playgroup, needs more social interaction. Well I'm beginning to think i need to take her somewhere once a week for the AM.
On the way home she screamed the last 20 min b/c i took her glass away which was filled with water. She even peed in her car seat. I cried. No i bawled.
DH has been gone every night this week, even all day. The last 3 days he's gone before the kids get up and home after they are in bed. I get them up, feed them 3 meals, bath, put them to bed and try to keep things orderly around here. Of WHICH my dryer is still not fixed. I got in there and did as much cleaning of lent as I could and am now waiting for a repair man to come look at it. I think it's going to be fine after cleaning it out, but i just need it fixed.
Finally just called someone to do it b/c there's no telling when DH would get to it. His solution is to take it to his parents. Oh yes doesn't THAT sound like fun to haul wet laundry, 2 cross kids and an even crabbier mother to dry laundry b/c he is to busy to fix it.
NADA!!!
So there you have it. I'm just going to stop here as I'll just get more worked up. If you have any words of wisdom please pass it on. Don't be harsh with me, I'm not in the mood to deal with it. Any other parents out there that can relate to this???
