My poor ds is worried Santa won't bring him the right presents, hated his nativity because the other children sang too loudly, didn't like the class Christmas party because he didn't win any games and hates winter in general because it's too cold and always raining. These are just today's complaints. It's not just Christmas that makes him sad, it's pretty much everything! If we take him on a day out then he could really enjoy himself but as soon as it's over then he will be miserable and telling you all about the things that went wrong.
I try to stay upbeat but my god it's hard work when nothing makes your child happy! He has always been like this, he was grumpy as a baby and as he's got older he's just got better at expressing his dissatisfaction so we have less tantrums but more constant low level moaning.
Anyone else have a pessimistic child?
