I want to give one of my children up for adoption, iin

My husband and I have two boys. The older one is a sweetheart but the younger one is a nightmare. He destroys everything in the house, hurts friends and relatives (pulling their hair and throwing things at them), just being a constant pain in the ass. I know deep down we won't do it, but everyday I think about it and it gives me a moment of peace imagining that he's gone.

    Maybe you should try being a better parent, stop picking a favorite child, and realize not every child is the same. Try taking your child to therapy, for all you know he has anger problems.

    If you have a child that is frustrated, a child with anger issues, a child that is missunderstood... Do you think giving your child away for adoption would make anything better? Stop these toxic thoughts and let yourself love him.
    Letting yourself love him would mean letting your self care, and that can be exhausting. But don't give up your family. It will be alright, you just have to give it time and work on it.

    Here are some things to do.

    1. Do never blame him, don't try to teach him what's wrong to do but tell him what is right to do.
    2. Try to understand him.
    3. Talk to other parents and people who have experience with these things. Maybe adults or teenagers who have been that kid.
    4. Don't give up on him. If you are having a hard time, imagine how hard this must be for him.
    5. Visit a child therapist.

    I wish you well <3

    Give the good one up for adoption and spend time improving the bad one. That would be the least selfish option.

    put him on tons of drugs so he will stare into space and never talk. That is WHAT I WANT TO DO TO MY STEPSON SO I DON'T HAVE TO PARENT SO HARD and deal with his annoying personality. I love adderal it rewires their brains so they act like robots.

    Do you own a TV?

    Some kids are just that way. Structure, consistency, your punishments don't have to be harsh but they do have to be long. It might suck, because your stuck punishing him. But if you remove him from the situation and allow him to calm down. He will realize he did something wrong. Then talk with him. Not to him. maybe there is something going on you can't see right now. Then again some kids are just that way.

    Really breaks my heart this post. That poor little boy :( there would be nothing in the world worst then knowing your parents love your brother but don't want you. I really truly hope you have sought help and answers. For everyone's sake

    If you haven't already take him to the doctors and see if he has any learning problems. I hate to say it but he could even be being abused somewhere or in past and his little head can't deal with it all... just speculation but children don't act out day in day out for no reason. Maybe he knows how you feel, and imagine feeling that your parents love your older brother but don't want you?? It would make me act out too... I know it can be frustrating, my son has dyspraxia and it feels like I'm banging my head against the wall most the time but he is a product of you and your husband and all his surroundings and the people surrounding him. You owe him to find out what's wrong and not just assume he's a nasty person because as a "child" he's doing nasty things

    ooh please ma'am, don't do that!! the poor kid would feel bad when he grows up and gets to know that he was given for adoption!!

    just give the poor thing a couple of more years and he should be okey.. May be you and your husband should leave him to be a bit more free and not nag him a lot, that way when he notices that he doesn't get unruly attention for he's mischief he might tone down..

    anyways take care and may God bless you ma'am..
