Because.... I expect children, in my home, to have good manners, be respectful, not trash everything they touch, not argue with everything DH says.....

I am ready to have my baby any day now, and listening to SS6 and SD13, and DH all day every day is exhausting! I brought up the fact, any day now, we will have a new born in our home, and does he think we will be able to continue to exert the level of energy we have to now with skids. Yes, they r doing normal kid shit, but to such an extreme, it NEVER STOPS.

I am thinking, what's gonna happen when this baby is here, and we don't have one moment of peace? When I cannot sit down and feed her without skids constantly needing attention or all hell breaks lose? I am getting pretty nervous! My patience for this whole thing has gone out the window, and all I can think is, add me being tired from having a new born, an I'm gonna LOSE it on skids!!!!!

He keeps telling me to engage more with the kids, and I will see how awesome they are! Do more to please them and help him out! In other words, forget expecting them to change their behavior, find a way to appease them so they don't have to. Um, yeah, I will get right on that, cause that's what u want to facilitate.

My biggest fear is that MY child has to grow up in this home. My child has to listen to the non stop arguing and yelling and behaviors. That MY child will learn how to be like siblings, and DH will facilitate it, and I will be dealing with another child, MY OWN CHILD, who has learned to act like skids for another 18 years.!

I'm so nervous!!!!!

Ps, I'm especially a snob, because I feel children who have drive, accomplishment, culture, good grades, are respectful, and hard working, should be admired. He feels, just because skids exist, they should be admired, they do not have to do anything, even though they don't do anything, I should see them as the greatest kids who ever lived, just cause.
