Not much sleep last night - busy 12 week old.
DD is 21 months
Both are a dream
...so why do I get so short with DD when she does even the tiniest thing 'wrong'.
e.g. today she purposely ran away from me in to the road (bless her, it's just a game to her) and I totally over reacted by telling her off and putting her in to her buggy. She's too young for this approach I know but I was just so cross. There were two other mums there whose DCs did the same thing (they were all in a group) and they just went for the distraction option and I felt so bad for my DD. Then later on she kept doing something i'd asked her not to and so I was really really short with her. I am feeling so guilty and horrible.
