[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids are 6,5, and 1. I’m a SAHM who works part time online. They have been raised by us at home, no nanny or day care.

I would prefer suggestions beyond “get help”. Specifics books, tools, etc.

I follow soooo many parenting IG accounts. We love Celebrate Calm.

My husband and I fear that we genuinely do not like our oldest child, and worry the middle one is right behind him. Our oldest is anxious and adhd, and downright unpleasant. He has a very grumpy disposition. He complains a lot. Not a lot of joy. [b]He’s oblivious, selfish and rude[/b].

(My husbands family, in general, are unpleasant people. Just…grumps. Not a lot of personality and pleasantries. The anxiety comes from me).

Our middle son is more easy going but has a temper. He screams and tantrums a lot.

I just feel like our house isn’t filled with joy and love. I feel like we’re just getting by. I want to enjoy this phase and love my little children, but it’s not cute and lovey at all. There’s a lot of arguing.

Am I being too hard on myself? Am I comparing our lives to IG too much?

Congrats! You have a kid? This describes...a kid. It sounds like you have unrealistic expectations, and they are making everyone miserable. [/quote]
