Dd1 is currently upstairs crying and having a strop because I have banned her from tv.
Bit of background, all my kids are early risers, baby wakes at 5.30, older kids at 6. I wish they would sleep until 7 but alas no luck. I allow them to watch tv in the morning for half an hour to allow me chance to come round and have a coffee and fag in relative peace.
Dd1 is never hungry at this time, I like to start breakfast at 6.30 to get it out of the way, then they get dressed, brush teeth, do hair etc before we set off to school at 8.10
I know it's no fun eating when you aren't hungry so I allow dd1 to get dressed first and get completely ready for school before having breakfast a little later. This morning I sent her upstairs at 6.30 to get dressed. She has just come downstairs now in her pants and vest and had an enormous argument with her older brother because he has switched tv over from Sophia the bloody first to football, and she has stormed off upstairs with the remote. I've taken the remote from her and banned her for the rest of the day for her selfishness and bad attitude. I wouldn't mind but The prog she was watching was a bloody recording anyway so it's not like its gone forever. She moans chronically any time there's any program on which isn't what she wants to watch, and drags her feet and procrastinates about getting dressed, her tight seams annoy her, her collar won't sit right, she can't fasten her zip on her skirt, the skirt is too tight and the jumper is itchy. Don't even get me started on doing her hair. She's 7.5yo and frankly I expect better behaviour than this!
