and it's driving me mad!
Me: ooh it's nippy today
Ds: no it's not
Me: there's a lot of traffic today, isn't there?
Ds: no, I don't think so
Me: it's lunchtime!
Ds: it's not, it's still morning
Me: we need to go shopping, we've got no loo roll left
Ds: we have got loo roll
Me: you need to clear your room a bit, it's very messy, the floor is covered with toys
Ds: no it's not
etc etc etc
It is literally about everything, it's like he won't let me be "right" about anything at all, even totally stupid mundane things like the loo roll!
I get that some things are maybe a matter of opinion - the weather, for example - I might find it nippy, he might not, but he can't argue with me if I say it's raining, but he DOES, and hten when I engage or argue back he says things like "well, it's not really what I would call raining".
I know I should probably ignore it but I just can't, especially when it involves something that acvtually needs doing.
I am getting ridiculously wound up by it all - please tell me it's just a phase and pass on any tips for dealing with it before I tear all my hair out!! :o
