    I am going through EXACTLY the same thing with my 6 year old.
    The day starts with her yelling that she's too tired to get up. 99% of the time I say 'well you should've gone to sleep earlier'.
    Then I go & make her brekky.
    After she has eaten & needs to get dressed she starts wit the 'I'm sick & Mrs Meers said I'm not allowed to go to school when I'm sick. After a while of pointing out why she's not sick there is about 20 minutes of me saying 'hurry up or your going to school in your undies'.
    Eventually we get there.
    After school is just as bad. Bedtimes were hell, but getting better.
    I wish weekends would disappear. Especially when its too cold to send them out side.
    I know exactly how you are feeling. I feel exactly the same. I love her & would still protect her with my life, but its really hard to like her.
    We are seeing a child psycologist. Its helped the bed times get better, but thats it. She still trashes her room every weekend playing.
    We have a deal with bed times. If she goes to bed, no arguments at 8pm, she can go to bed when she likes on weekends.
    It's the only way it works for us.
    Is he having any problems ay school? Socially or acidemically? They could be contributing.
    Are there any problems at all in the family? Things that happened years ago could be affecting him.
    My MCHN was the one who I talked to & the one who organised the psycologist for me.
    I hope it gets better for both of us soon.
