problems with children

[Askmelater]

Hi all.
I have 5 children living with me at my house and there dad has been removed by police and social for possible child abuse. I am at my wits end everyday without fail at least one of my children say if u don't let me have this or if u won't take me out I will tell the social worker and get them to take u away like they took dad.. I am walking on egg shells I feel like I can not say no to my kids. Help please as I right this I am sat on my sons bed because he said if I don't then he will get them to take me away

Hi, its always going to be difficult for you to pick up the peaces left behind by your partner being removed from the family home regarding possible child abuse.
I think you all have to be honest with each other, sit your children down, and talk about how difficult it is for you to coupe with whats happened, and then ask the older kids if they could help with jobs around the house ,let them have some responsibility's within the house while keep reminding them how difficult your finding it now there dad isn't there.
Children do reach an age where they do become opinionated, so let them have there say and agree with them, saying that's a good idea etc,
The reason im saying this approach, is children copy each other ,so if you give the oldest kids a sense of control under the support of there mum while trying to solve family problems this may lead to the youngest children not wanting to say silly things but start to enjoy the family time you spend together.
Try to think positive

Good look
