today ds1 has:

broken 2 video recorders, destroyed 2 videos, attacked ds2 repeatedly (who has scratches all down his neck), emptied washing up liquid around the kitchen and onto his pecs book, weed on the floor, stripped off repeatedly (including outside and its freezing), fallen backwards off a chair and hit his back on a futon base, climbed naked up the window opposite the neighbours, flushed ds3's toothpaste down the toilet, flushed a toilet roll down the toilet, flushed something unidentified down the toilet.

ds3 has screamed and screamed as he has had to be in his playpen all day becuase of having to supervise ds1.

I have lost my temper repeatedly (which is no use at all as he just does it again as he thinks its funny), and have cleared up mess after mess (meanwhile the next one is occuring).

DS3 has screamed himself to sleep in his highchair, ds1 is screaming at the video next door (it doesn't work- durr) and ds2 keep screaming any time he goes near him.

I need a glass of wine.

Agree with HITC. I think you need a bottle!

Is it connected to the harvest moon, do you think? My ds2 has been awful all day, although nowhere near what you're going through.

Grab that wine!

Blimey,what a day!!

Agree that a bottle or more is your due.

What's your take on the moon thing baka??
All the people I know with who work in the field of SN reckon that can definitely notice the difference.

Do you have help over half term?

ds1 has a couple of sessions with goosey the saviour and I have in-laws. Ho hum.

Today was an extra half term day and because I couldn't get any help in I couldn't take him anywhere. I did shove him and ds3 in the car and went for a drive- but traffic jams were not popular.

I don't think it's the moon now- usually he's fine once we're past it. DS3 has been waking teething and waking ds1 so he's tired. Also I'd been up since 3 so didn't have the capacity to handle it very well. I don't lose my temper with him very often but did today. Of course after tea he crawled onto my lap and gave the biggest cuddle so now I feel a right git.

and this morning he flooded the kitchen (with me standing next to him- how does he do that?). Then whilst I was cleaning that up he flushed my hairbrush down the loo and got really cross that it wouldn't flush away.

I am giving my FIL the job of fitting locks next week while I take ds1 out.

He's very flitty at the moment- but trying to talk a lot more (since last week). My friend reckons her dd turns into a nightmare when she's making a development- so clinging onto that hope.
