Why on earth did not anybody warn us? At least my mother could have mentioned something, before we even started to get children. Tell us about this acting out, constant defiance a six year old does – all the time. I do not have the energy any more. Not even Tobias, who usually is cool as a cumber is keeping his cool.
Sam is hurting inside, I see it, but it sure does not make it easier for us when he is kicking his brother or just doing the opposite to whatever we ask him to do.
And the only thing I hear is: "It gets worse".
Just for the record, if you do not have anything positive, anything reassuring to say to me – do not say anything at all. And for heaven's sake do not smirk and say "It gets worse". If you do, I will make sure Sam moves in with you – for good. And then we'll see who smirks….
