Wits End

Zack really has me at my wits end. He is pushing all my buttons and I am finding it very hard not to loose it at him. He just keeps pushing and pushing and pushing and won't listen to a thing I say. It is really driving me mad. I don't know what is wrong with him and how to fix it. It makes me feel like a parental failure :-( Hopefully this stage will end soon because I don't know how much longer I can deal with it without loosing my mind and gaining the worse parent award.

Really???

Really my IL's are ridiculous. On the weekend my MIL had to go pick up my SIL's dog to look after. SIL rang James and asked him if he would go down to MIL's place and lift the dog out of the car for her. Now the dog is a boarder collie like the one above and is very old so has to be lifted out. What I don't understand is why she couldn't lift the stupid, child attacking dog out herself. The dog is a kg heavier than Ashton and she lifts him, lighter than Zack and I have seen her lift him so why the hell could she not lift a dog out of a small hatchback car.

Anyway she picked DH up on her way home and took him to her place (at tea time which he was cooking, we were having a bbq) and when he came home he walked in the door and said she is such a so and so B!tch. I said why what happened? He said she went off and was cruel to him about anything that was said. He left in a good mood and came home in a bad mood. She does something nice for her, out of his way which was for a ridiculous reason and she treats him like shit.

Car restraints

Kids are ment to be in car restraints people. The last two weeks while dropping and picking Zack up at preschool there are been 2 different people driving in with there kids not in a car seat. Last week the guy had a 3-4 year old in the front of the car. This week another guy drove in with a child who didn't even look 2 yet and the preschooler in the back seat of the car. I didn't look closely enough to see if he had seat belts on them. It makes me want to say its illegal not to have them in a car seat, surely you want to keep your children as safe as possible. I find it very sad how many people don't care about something so important.
