That's great news OP that you took this step. It's not easy. |

Mom gave me one warning for even a resemblance of one of those behaviors:
It worked. Your kids are trippin, OP. You trippin. |

Well, if OP dies tomorrow, he better figure out his own kids. Why are women supposed to be lucky that their husbands are parenting their own freaking children? |

Are your children neuro typical? I’m guessing not.
But also I’m not sure what you expect of a K and 2nd grader but not cleaning up their messes is 150% developmentally appropriate. You sound like you need a break. Can you have someone take them for a weekend so you can check yourself into a hotel? |

| OP, im so sorry. Parenting is hard. Can you afford to hire a nanny for a bit. This is bullshit and not normal. They need to get their asses whipped into shape. Kids need boundaries and can be great! |

This is so not normal. Either your kids are trying to send a message or they need counseling and so do you, OP.

| OP, I say this kindly, but you need to take a parenting class and get yourself a therapist. |

Peeing everywhere and that much screaming is not normal.
Two theories: 1. You are depressed and it’s affecting the kids and now they are acting out. Seek help 2. You are living in toxic mold. Apparently Pee accidents with older kids are connected to this and mold can affect people psychologically. Either is a huge concern |

+1000 Good for you. My first conversation with a doctor about my own mental health struggles was so hard. Good for you. GL. It will get better once you can find medication which helps. It has been transformational for two of my close family members. |

My daughter peed in her pants often until 8! She forgets to go, holds it until she’s about to burst, etc. she’ll outgrow it but it is frust, she’s very embarrassed about it, so I try not to shame her, but sometimes I lose it! |

Thinking good thoughts for you OP. Parenting is never easy, and your situation sounds especially rough. Hang in there. |

Honestly it doesn't always get better. I'm not sure why people keep insisting it does. It might get better with medication and therapy, but it might not. Sometimes therapy makes things worse. |

+1 Everything sounds like normal bratty, rebellious behavior except the peeing. One kid with pee issues would also be unusual at those ages, but two? Definitely make it a priority to have them see a pediatrician and talk with the school counselor. I hate to even suggest this but I think children who are experiencing abuse are known to have incontinence as a red flag (not saying you are abusing them, OP, but possibly some adult in their circle, like a cate giver or other family member). |

| Your kids sound like they need a good beating. I don’t spank my kids but if they spoke to me that way, I would correct that immediately. |

May sound trite, but......have you ever felt bonded to them? Attachment issues present in similar fashion, and attachment issues aren't only for adopted children.
