Oh My.....

I have discovered in the last day or two or maybe month or two that Cam is a fighter~ I am not too sure why or where he gets it from, but I am burnt out from it. Everyday it is a battle for him to do anything at all...even down to simple stuff like showering or brushing teeth. Everyone tells me that it is a boy thing and he will grow out of it... Will he?? I am growing more concerned with each passing day. He is always trying to get a rise out of me and I think that this morning I have snapped...Great way to start of St. Valentines Day.....Angry and confused~ One minute he is losing his mind and the next he is fabulous. Like, right now he is filling out his Valentines...nice as pie in the kitchen.. I am discovering little things like if I dont fight back with him he calms down and is fine. But we all know that it is hard to not engage in the childs behaviour or rant.
I have made him a drs appt for hearing next week, his teacher seems to think he is not listening....and everyone again tells me that it is a boy thing and they are all like that~
I am so tired of the constant battle about every little thing...it is so exhausting.. If his hearing checks out fine, then what...some other test and then what. I am feeling that I am not doing the job right some days, like I am failing in the help your child grow and learn department. He will not and does not like to do any sort of learning at home and if he does, he will for a minute and then complains that he is soooooo tired and cant do anymore. He is very good at putting on a show!
So, I am off to help him with getting out the door and I promise that I will not push him out it!!!!
He is a great boy and I love him to death.....I am just wondering why someone is putting me up to this enormous test of strength? Joann, any ideas?????? I need a new parenting book!

Thats it, I just needed to get that off my chest!

I am sure that I am a great mom, Craig tells me everyday!
