lulubelle Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I belong to that club at the moment! Disrespectful comes to mind today! I had to reclaim the fact that I do love him today! Not much to do with food, but Mondays are really hard with him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 More protein! My son is a victim of what the Pioneer Woman calls low-blood-sugar-cranky-butt-disorder. I give him regular snacks (with protein!) to save my sanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom to 3 boys & 1 girl Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 My oldest is like this too. He is only 6.5 and I have been hoping it was just a quick phase that would be gone by his birthday. Now I'm wondering if we are just getting started! :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Sigh. Wish I hadn't the faintest idea what you are talking about.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Oh no! Are you all telling me it will only get WORSE over the next couple of years?? I was hoping 3... and 4 were just not great ages. Oh dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear. It gets *different*, that's how it is with every age. Some things are harder, some things are easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty Social Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 He's in bed now, so it's all good. I do give him snacks - and insist on protein, but some days it just doesn't seem to be enough. Today was one of those days :eek::banghead: I love my son, I love my son...... (he really is sweet - when well fed.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 That doesn't exactly describe my 7yo. My 7yo boy just lives on his own planet. He is clueless about the person space of others. He is hyper and over the top excited. He can hardly stop moving (unless I'm reading to him). He throws huge drama whenever he gets hurt. He doesn't listen because he's playing some kind of Ryan-land game in his head. And yet he is the sweetest kid. I'm sooo tired of it tonight. He sat on the bench during soccer no fewer than 3 times (less than an hour) and couldn't even tell me why. UUGH. So although our children are slighty different, I still commiserate with you.

Dawn in OH Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Wow. And I thought my 8 year old boy was just special. I'm quite relieved to know that others have this problem. We are having a huge issue this week with talking back in addition to the rest. I'm trying my best to get this situation under control as well as his other issues. The two year old just yesterday entered "the terrible" phase, and I'm fighting off the morning-noon-and-night sickness this most recent pregnancy has bestowed upon me. Our house is NOT a fun place right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlowetx Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 yeah, and here I was thinking taking him out of ps was going to get rid of his mouthiness... well, at least it looks like we're not alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give him regular snacks (with protein!) to save my sanity. :iagree: With both my 7 year old girl and 4 year old boy, I closely watch the protein to sugar ratio. My parents think we're crazy, but it's true, my husband and I are firm believers in maintaining a good protein to sugar ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintedlady Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Ugh, I had one of those last year. :glare: I am happy to report that this year he is a little better and only mouthy and whiny about half of the time. Good luck and here's a :grouphug:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Are the whiniest, complainiest, rudest, smart alecks on the planet. :glare: Especially when even slightly hungry. Good thing I love him. I feed my little beast every couple of hours something with protein. He's 11 and it hasn't gotten any better. Protein is the key to a happy house for us. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty Social Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 It's nice to hear I'm not alone out there! I find it amazing how he can go from being the sweetest, kindest, loving-est boy to monster in 1 second flat. Stupid blood sugar. Question - I do feed him protein snacks, but it often doesn't make a huge difference. Does he just need more (quantity), or different? He gets things like cheese or peanut butter.
