Hello, I have just had a horrible morning with my middle 2, ds1 is nearly 2, not very verbal and slap bang in the middle of the " lay down on the floor and scream" phase if things aren't going his way. dd2 is 4 and not very well, ds2 is 15 weeks and vomits copiously and randomly, so I thought I was actually doing really well this morning to drop dd1 at school at get to my appt with the bank on time.
dd2 and ds1 were not doing anything really naughty they were being a bit pesky and I was reigning their more excitable moments, I had taken some toys in to keep them amused, but the 10 minute appt dragged on for over an hour. So you can imagine they were getting fed up. ( so was I!)
I had 2 people say to me in a very negative way "oh dear you've got your hands full".
It happened both times today when ds1 was stropping because I wouldn't let him keep pushing the "open door" button. The other 2 children were happy and well behaved at that moment iykwim, so it was just one child having a momentary rah. Why do people feel the need to make the comment? Its the inferance that i've bitten off more than I can chew that irritates me (especially when I only have 3 out of 4 with me).
Anyone else feel like this? And whats your best reply?....
