Heeellllllppp !
Currently mid tantrum from DS age 6. It is epic .
I'm talking screaming and shouting and lashing out epic .
This is how it unfolded:
Showered DS and got him in to his PJs - all fine .
DS starts colouring in his pictures.
I ask him to put them away and choose a story . He ignores me and carries on colouring in .
So I tell him he has to the count of 3 to choose a story or I will pick one for us to read .
He ignored me and carried on colouring.
For background - DS is constantly ignoring me at the minute . Every request is met by "one moment" followed by more "one moments".
It's driving me bonkers .
So I picked the story and started reading - telling him I was starting without him and if he misses it because he's ignoring me then it's his own fault.
He goes to the book shelf and picks a story .
I said no , too late and said we are having the story I picked .
He kicked off massively ! In the midst of it he kicked me hard (I think he was aiming for the book but he hit my arm and it hurt !).
So I said no story and walked out .
He's screaming in his room .
The neighbours will hate me !
I'm doubting myself !
He's shouting that his brother had a story (he did - he picked one when I asked him to!) .
Should I give in?
The neighbours will hate me !
