Hate to say it but was so ashamed by ds's behaviour today. He's 3years 5mths and pushed a little 18month old boy off of a ride on toy too give his friend instead. He tipped the little boy backwards and he wacked his head really hard on the floor.
We were due to leave shortly anyway, so once i'd told him off i told him we were going home as i can't behave like that. He went into an enormous rage,kicking and screaming. Eventually i had to carry him out whilst he was screaming blue murder - People were staring, my friend had to help me out with my baby, as there was no way i could push the pushchair and restrain him at the same time. Even when we got to the car, he was going mental - took at least 40 mins to calm down.
Sounds awful, but i was so embarassed, and really disliked him afterwards. made me feel worse that the friend whose house it all happened at, her kids NEVER seem to play up and are never aggressive to other kids. Also didn't know the other 3 mums there.
I know it's just kids stuff, but surely at 3 and a half he should know better. Feel partly responsible as ds was tired and perhaps i should've gone on a playdate. I just really feel like i'm struggling with his behaviour atm.
Sorry to rant, just came away from it wondering where i've gone wrong with him. I'd say 80% of the time he's a darling but for me he's like bloody damien!
