Tonight, after finding poo smeared on the walls, toilet, and sink DS(7) admitted to playing with and tasting his poo sometimes. When asked why he does it DS answered "my brain tells me too". He is on medication for ADHD and struggles with anger management issues. He helped me clean the bathroom but I don't know where to go from here. When I asked if he would talk to the child psychologist that helps him manage his anger he said no, he just wanted to talk to me. I worry he's being abused or that his mental issues are bigger than we've ever known.

when i was 32 weeks pregnant with my first, there was a story in the paper about a women who went in 4 times with leaking fluids, each time they said it wasn't amniotic and it was fine.no ultra sounds. well she went in with contractions a few days later. and they couldn't find a heartbeat. they did an ultra sound. the fluid was all dried up. she had just felt her baby kicking the night before. I cried for ages. It was so sad, and terrifying. I still cry for that poor mother and feel anger towards the hospital staff. after 4 times in, you'd think they'd take time to do an ultra sound.

i wonder how many of you wives/mothers sit there everyday, going through life with no hope, depression, anger and frustration? just muddling through life wishing to run far, far away......

I have a few topics that I just should not talk to my DH about, ever. When I do I am so full of anger and resentment. He just brought one of them up, and its a really horrible time (in his life) for me to be feeling this way. But yeah, right now, I don't want to look at him.

If you asked me 4 years ago, I never would have believed that my children were the cause of the strife in my marriage. I know you can't tell people in the middle of stress or anger with their spouse--that it'll pass, but I bet it will, once the kids sleep through the night, you have a chance to go out to dinner together, or even take a weekend away and remember what brought you together to begin with. We've been married ten years, and are finally getting to this point. The sex is better. The discussion is better. I'm much happier and see us staying together forever--wasn't the case before.

3 Trivial things that I will never forgive. 1. Metallica's, St Anger. 2. The way Boba Fett died 3. The way A-Rod left the Mariner's.

I read all these confessions about moms who get sitters, spend money on stuff, go to Starbucks, get their nails done weekly, etc... and there is so much anger about them. I'm not 'overindulged', but I am a stay at home mother with two kids--one in school fulltime, the other at preschool three mornings a week. I have a weekly cleaning lady. However, I do all of the cooking, the daily cleaning, the carpool, the lessons, meal planning, etc. If another SAHM can state that she wouldn't WANT MY LIFE I'd definitely believe she isn't honest with herself. A working mom may differ, of course.

I can't have anymore kids. I have two and I love them to bits. but i get upset sometimes. My ex was abusive and both pregnancies were unplanned. I never got to have a positive pregnancy. I was screamed at and pushed around through the first one. I left during the second and had family members saying that it would be better if I lost the baby. so sometimes I get sad that I'll never get to have a happy positive pregnancy. it'll always be something bad in my memory. even the births... people ruined them with fights and anger and bitterness.

Not every person who commits a sexual crime against a child is a *pedophile*. Pedophilia implies attraction and/or obsession with children. But there are other sexual crimes that occur that are purely to exert power over another human being due to deep seated anger issues. I'm not saying one is less heinous, I'm just sick of hearing that pedophilia breeds pedophilia. A pedophile may molest a child who goes on to molest children. But that doesn't mean the second one is a pedophile. Pedophiliacs are born. Angry people are made.

It bothers me so much when someone says their pregnancy was an accident or their child was a surprise and someone else has to trot out the old "it was mean to beeeeeeeee!" response. Sometimes shit happens. That's it. Stop invalidating other people's anger and sadness in response to shit happening.
