S/o what part of parenting do you dislike the most

winomom22

What do you have the hardest time dealing with?  For me its the not listening and constantly having to repeat myself.  Coming in a close second is how this child can not sit still for a second and trys to do gymnastic moves while I am trying to get her dressed, help her brush her teeth etc.  So infuriating!

Screaming.  DD screams about everything.  Drives me to crazytown.  Also, the refusing to clean up.  Nothing seems to help that.

Without a doubt - whining.

mlm1128

Being completely and utterly ignored.  Sometimes I would literally get a better reaction out of my walls. DD is very bull headed, and sadly we actually have arguments already.

This in the worst way.

Tantrums and attitude in public.  Makes going out impossible.

SumnerBride

Not getting five seconds of peace in a 24 hour day.

WifeyLindsay

Ummmm... ditto everything that everyone has posted. Is that bad? LOL

DevonPow

The unexplained tantrums. I totally get and can deal with tantrums over things like "no you can't have a cookie", and even the ridiculous ones (like yesterday when he had a tantrum because I ate an apple). It is the ones where he is playing, has been fed, isn't tired, and all of a sudden he goed BALLISTIC over something and I have no idea what.

That and he is starting to get rude - keeps saying things like "I want it RIGHT NOW!". Uh uh, Mister. I am not a fan of that.

The worrying.  And the whining.

KoriBrett

Utter lack of time to myself to even pee, and lack of time to do the fun stuff I want to do with them.  Always having to be the bad guy.

Kelly Madonna

Definitely whining, the sound just grates my nerves. So it's just great that my DD really does it a lot

xbrooklyngrl

I'm not a fan of the whining either.

But the endless worry is the toughest part for me. You wear your heart on your forehead forever.

veloelle

Not eating and fighting every meal, every effing day to get her to eat.

Taking 3 hours to eat a bowl of cereal.

Whining.

DandelionMom

Definitely whining. 

scullyhoyy

Worrying about if she is going to get sick in the middle of the night. For what ever reason this is one of my biggest worries ( not really sure why) It probably started when I first had her & was worried she would stop breathing at night & I would miss it. I am a worry wort!

I agree the out of the blue tantrum/cry fest in public & at home, do drive me to want/need a drink. (of course not while pg) Oh & the her running off in a public place & having to yell & looking frantic, is pretty ruff.

Whining and worrying about living long enough to see her through her adulthood.  Seriously, I worry about stuff like that.

Crawling all over me all.the.time.

we must both be crazy

daycare and working

• esp. when it's obvious she wants to be at home,
• when i have to make a choice between my kid and my work (ex:  she fell and bumped her head ... it's not that bad tho.  do i stay at work or go get her when she really is fine.)
•  trying to be the best at mycareer and being a mom/wife - when it seems that neither my dh or my boss understands

mlm1128

I always assumed everyone worried about those things.  I was braced for that long before I was a parent! I worry about the same things with my dh and family memebrs too, so i am just a worrier by nature.

This is probably why I need to be medicated daily, no?

1. Not listening and constantly having to repeat myself.
2. Me yelling and said child who is not listening.
3. The whining. Actually, the pretending to whine - like whining/yelling on the toilet yesterday so DD would come in and see him. So then he would have a legit. reason to whine.

DS talking like a baby when he's mad

Whining, not listening, having to repeat myself a million times
