Hello, I am a mother of three children, ages 14, 15 and 16. I love my children but sometimes the annoy the sh*t out of me. whenever they get bored they always come and bother me. Sometimes the like to poke me and say "mommy" and i say "what" and they say "nevermind". and im all like, What the f**k is your problem? Show some damn maturity.

one day my children just made me blow my top and i beat the sh*t out of all three of them. first with a shoe, then a wet towel and finally a bag of apples. i mean, they just made me THAT mad. after that i felt guilty so i apologized. then suddenly i felt something hit the back of my head. it was an apple.... a f**king apple. then i beat my children again. ever since that day ive been beating my children with whatever i could find.

It sounds like your children act too childish. And so do you.
WTF is wrong with you?
You need to come to terms with your anger and seek help from a family counselor. If you continue to beat your children, they will either be taken from you, or possibly plan their revenge on you and hurt you when you least expect it. Most of all pray about this before you go to bed, and I guarantee you will get an answer you least expected.
You need to tell a profesional right away.
wow woman!! get some fucking help!! you could go to jail or be charged for this stuff!! really now dumb ass that really isn't a reason to beat your children, you shouldn't even be angry at them for that!! i hope you get your sad ass beaten for this you fuck up fuck face!!
i think that you shouldn't hit them, instead use words. hitting them means abuse, and i don't think that you're a bad person...i recommend you to stop, and think before you take action, i mean think if you are them, and on top of it being beaten!
faker
IM AM CRACKING UP!!! THE FUNNIEST IV'E READ ALL DAY!!!! but on a serious note...oranges don't leave bruises...ok ok ok im sorry. You really shouldnt beat them. Its bad.
It really wasn't funny at all.

It sounds VERY immature. You need to seek professional help. I advise you to take yourself and all 3 of your children to a therapist.
You obviously have extreme anger problems.
Abuse is not the answer. They will simply lose respect for you, what little respect they have...
Sounds like you are a total wacko and they ought to put you away. I would throw apples at you every day if I were your kid. That'll get to your 'core problems.'

Ha and also ha. Seek help. Give the children to your mother to raise. Have your tubes tied.
wtf is ur problem that is sick
Coming from somebody who was abused as a kid to somebody who abuses their kids, Fuck yourself.
Keep up the good work.
People like you shouldn't have kids because you fuck them up for life. It's like a merry go round or a vicious cycle--where will it end? You beat them, they beat you, they beat their kids, on and on it goes.

You are the adult--or are you a teen mother? You sure act like one! At any rate, you're their mother, you're older, and in theory are more mature. That means you have to stop this stupidity before something really sick happens.
fake
You deserved it you dumb bitch. Stop now! Even if they keep throwing crap at you or whatever, you need to stop immediately! You deserve every single thing that's coming to you out of it, and unless you just want them to come at you with a baseball bat one day, you'll realize that you're the problem and stop at once!

It's already been said, but I'll say it again. You started a vicious and violent cycle. YOU need to break it. YOU need to stop. YOU need to realize that people don't just take abuse without lashing back. YOU deserve everything you get until they finally realize you've changed. I can only hope you'll change. 3 against one, you'll lose in the long run, I promise.

We don't need to help you, you need to help yourself. If you can't deal with that, then you need to transfer custody to a caring family member or turn yourself in to the authorities.
you need to stop before you end up behind bars for child abuse...

Also, the kids probably say "nevermind" because they detected an annoyed tone in your voice and thought it better to leave you alone. They know these things...more than you ever will understand.

The kids don't know that they're annoying you. They think you hate them for no reason. Even if you ask them, they'll deny it. They probably have mixed emotions now and will be SCARRED FOR LIFE because of you. Congrats on dropping a bomb in their future.

What would you think if you, as a child, were beaten by your mother and didn't understand why?

You can't assume anything about them. Unlike me, you are unable to read minds.
We can only hope that this will happen.
i am not a mother, so if I were in your shoes, I would probably do the same thing, I mean after all it sounds like your children are not acting their age, and it takes a lot of courage to discuss this stuff on the world wide web.......
Hi.

You're a terrible person. Absolutely terrible. These are you children. They love you, and you should love them. What happens when they grow up and beat their children as well? You're condoning a sickening act towards children. I mean, they're KIDS. Grow up. And f*ck you.
If I were next to you I'd kick you A** and show you as much respect as you show your children. Why be a mom if you can't show your kids the time, love, and compassion that a parent is supposed to. Grow the hell up yourself!
Atleast... assuming this post is real.... they are already teens so go ahead and do it. Beat up they're little punk asses. Nextime with coconuts upside the head.
they obviously never respected you in the first place if they came in just to push your buttons.
Stop beating them and grow up lady, you act their age.
And your kids sound annoying enough to send to some bootcamp type thing... but you have to change before you try to change them because what you're teachng them obvi isn't the healthiest behaviour...
Dont friggin beat your kids. YOu are so crazy, you are not normal, go to a psychologist. I hope your kids beat you up.
I can't believe people actually think that's okay. that is HORRIBLE. I feel extremely sorry for your children to have such a HORRIBLE parent. Beat them? Seriously?
You could easily get reported and go to jail, which you obviously deserve. You bitch, go to hell.
What's your name and address? Someone needs to call child protective services on your ass.
OMFG STOP IT NOW!!! KIDS CAN BE ANNOYING BUT BEATING THEM IS PHYSICAL ABUSE!! YOU COULD GET IN SERIOUS TROUBLE FOR IT AND IT WILL RESULT IN THEM TURNING INTO EMO'S AND HATING YOU FOREVER!!! DO YOU WANT TO LOOSE THEM!? GET HELP, TEENAGERS ARE LIKE THAT A LOT BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO BE A REAL PARENT! HOW CAN YOU LOVE THEM AND HURT THEM AT THE SAME TIME!?
this is the weirdest thing i have ever heard....apples?
I am a kid. And just let me tell you that if I were YOUR kid and you ever beat me with a bag of apples then somebody'd find u dead in the bed the next mornin.
why in the hell would u even have kids if u were just gonna beat them anyways?
WTF.
i beat my kid with hockey stick one time
I hope a motherfucker finds you and fucks the shit out of you!!! Seriously if you have anger management you can't ever be a good mom, you sound sick and I wouldn't ask from this site but go get some professional help. You have no right to beat your kids, this is not right and you know it deep inside. Go get a punching bag or something but the one who beats someone weaker than them are the weakest of them all!!! I don't know you but I already hate you.
If I were one of your kids, then I would commit suicide.......so....I suggest that you should not beat your kids like that. Okay. To tell you the truth I'm a kid myself, (12 years old recently)and I would NEVER want to have a mother that beats me ALL the time.....I mean, in EVERYONE'S eyes, mothers are like, really caring, friendly, patient, loving......nice stuff like that.I mean, beating your kids is just showing that you're weak and can't handle stuff easily......By the way, not only it affects your kids, it also affects THEIR kids just because they came from a abusive household and they thought that the only way of controlling their kids is to beat them, and you should be really ashamed of yourself, cuz there are lots of people younger than you knew that beating kids is wrong and YOU did that. So now you're a really bad role model, plus DON'T FORGET YOUR IDENTITY........YOU'RE A M-O-M!!!!!!What is wrong with these people nowadays?????Did they forget what moms are for????Hey, "mom" ask yourself, do YOU consider yourself as a "mom"??????I don't think so!
Please change.....for your own good, for your kids, for the next generation, for the world!!!!!
Peace,
Samantha
Not normal - its abusive. Its amazing you aren't charged & your children apprehended. Help for you?

Stop hitting them. Go to a child & family welfare agency & get family and parenting counseling and whatever support the children need.

I hope your kids learn it is OK to get help. If this abuse is what you have put your kids through all along they may have problems emotionally and in school, work, and relationships now & in the future.

Anyway you'd better turn yourself around because you have already earned their contempt and disrespect. They may never forgive you and may despise you forever.

Your choice.
funny story made up but funny lol bag of apples
If by chance you are being serious, then your feelings are normal, but your acting on them in such a way is not.

Regardless of how much they infuriate you, they are small, they are weak, they are inexperienced--they are children. Whether or not they know what they're doing, you should be the mature and level-headed adult, you should be the one showing them how to act. As it is, you're showing them to be violent if they don't get their way.

You need to find a more effective and less destructive and abusive way of managing your household. The only discipline they know is what you show them. You've started beating them, so now you will have a harder time getting them to respond to "normal" discipline. The longer you continue this, the harder it will be to ever go back to normal.

Moreover, the more you continue it, the more likely it is your kids will beat their children, and pass on your method of releasing anger long after you're gone from this world. Is that what you want your legacy to be?
Stop telling her to ____ herself and go to hell! We're here to help, not to be mean.

But anyway, I think this is NOT normal at all. You have to get some help RIGHT AWAY. If you don't, then you could go into court, have your children taken away from you, and even be tooken to jail for Child Endangerment. Get a family therapist. And after your done, you should manage your anger problems . If they annoy you, you should just be calm, don't explode. Since I'm not a mother and I never came from an abusive household, I wouldn't know much, but please resolve this issue ASAP. I really hope the best of wishes to you and your children and that you will realize that abuse is not the answer.
