As I sit here and write this I am shaking. My 5 year old son is in his bed screaming, he has been since about 1 pm this afternoon, it is now 5pm. We were at Walmart and he was being a turkey, we got mad at him so he kicked off his shoes. So we just left the shoes there (or so we told him, they were addidas runners). So for the next 30 minutes he screached while we continued shopping around walmart. Let me tell you I wasn't happy about the people all looking at me as if I was the one screaming. Then he doesn't want to get in the car so of course we say "stay thats your choice." Well again all the people looking at us like we were trying to steal the child or like they were going to pounce on him any second. Now we are getting near to spanking point but we finally put him in the car, (I tell him I will phone the police myself if he doesn't get his seat belt on properly). We drive home with him screaming, he stops once we get home, but I explain he is still going to bed for the rest of the day for acting that way. He cries a bit then goes to sleep for 45 min and is now screaming again. What do you do?
Lord I pray you will help me. Give me the strength, to love him. Right now all I want to do is give him away. Let me be thankful for the times he does listen and all the things you have made him. Let me hear your voice in these times just to guide me.
