Every time I come on this forum I'm more and more pleased I never had kids. I've never seen any threads by people complimenting their kids but loads moaning about them. Ah well you make your choice and have to live with it.

I'm not sure people need advice when their children are being good.
All children misbehave at some point but as a parent the joy they bring far outweighs the misery.

It's a bit like moaning about the bad bits about a Disney holiday 95% of the holiday is fantastic there might be 5% that is horrific.

People don't like to be too boastful but I see plenty of 'I'm proud of threads' on here.

OP all kids have their moments sometimes it is more frequent than usual. I find my kids get tired towards the end of a school term and their behaviour starts to deteriorate a little. Come the holidays they will be having fun and getting more rest though.

Well let me be the first. My 10 year old has made my husband and I better people and she is the love of our lives. She has been a complete joy to raise and come the time of moody teenager I will grin and bear it as I am sure my parents did to me.

I really don’t think you can judge. I’m sure every parent has more good times than bad times with their children and I’m sure are loved very much, and yes we probably did all choose to have them, however there is also nothing wrong with supporting each other if the children are going through a tough phase and giving each other tips on how to handle situations. Unfortunately there is no guide on how to raise children and helping each other out can be really useful and comforting.

I don't think any of us are moaning about our children, just reaching out to others who may be going through similar. Being a parent is the hardest job in the world and you never get a break from it and sometimes you just need the support of others to help when as a parent you are struggling.
I was not moaning about what my child is going through but more wondering how am I going to cope and support in the right way so as to continue to build our relationship and help them to continue to grow into a kind caring well adjusted member of society.

I know I am so blessed and lucky and more than happy to have 2 amazing children who blow my mind with their achievements.

Crikey, that reads a bit harsh and critical, I think people are only looking for support and reassurance which seems reasonable.

Yes!

Ds 13 gets very angry and emotional at times.

DD1 10 (almost 11) started her periods just after her 9th birthday and has been extremely hormonal since - stroppy, moody and just wants to be left alone.

DD2 9 showing signs of puberty but no real mood swings...yet! Im pretty sure she will be the worst out of the three though!

They are very good, well behaved and polite children and I am very proud of them all but i will be glad to see the back of these hormonal changes!

All fun and games

I have to ask the question and yet I know you will not answer but hey ho, I have five minutes to spare

Who are you, who has never had children, to judge those that do?
Why do you think people ask for help? it would be a little dumb come on and start a thread saying
"help my kids are wonderful, what should I do?"

finally, If you have never had kids, why comment on a thread where you have no resolutions to the problem You do this a lot on threads about children, I remember the great help you were on the chickenpox thread, managed to upset that mother as well.

As my nan used to say, if you have nothing decent to offer better off staying silent
