Having BIG problems with ds1 he is 5 in August and his behavior is terrible! im beggining to think he must have some kind of split personality, i have been called into school with very concerned teachers a number of times and its always the same story - when he is good he is excellent, he's lovely caring xharing and top of his class - a very bright and clever little boy, but the for no apparent reason that i can see he will just wake up some days like a devil child! - he is horrific! We had to leave his little friends birthday party yesterday after just half an hour as he wouldnt participate in the games they were playing and decided to lay on the floor screaming instead, we ignored him (having been advised to if he misbehaves) and half an hour later he was still going strong - and spoiling the other kids fun so we got his stuff and left and he screamed and kicked and bit me and dp and our 2 year old son! - he screamed at the top of his voice all the way home and i felt myself coming very close to just wanting to really really smack him! I have tried talking to our health visitor and she has said really rudley over the phone that she has been to give me advice and if that doesnt work what else do i expect her to do? we have our 3rd baby due in september and im beggining to feel like i must be doing something wrong with him but im at my wits end! how can he change from such a great little boy to such a manic devil child? Sorry for the long rant! im just so tired and stressed out with it all i feel like the worst mother ever, and i cant face all those mums back at school after yesterdays performance! xxx
