DD is 5 and can just be so damn difficult, it's just a whole host of really really annoying small things that add up to be so frustrating. For example gets out the the bath and just happens to stand on DS's foot then acts like it was an accident, brushing their teeth and just has to stand just too close to the sink and DS so he can't get to the tap, puts nightie on just happens to repeatedly put it on back to front arm in the wrong hole etc etc, eventually get into bed I try and tuck her in and she lifts her legs just as i'm putting duvet down so kicks the whole thing off again and again - and the list goes on. I say good night and she then gets out of bed about 7 seven times just moaning on about nothing and refusing to get back into bed until I eventually lose it and really shout at her and DS (who has down nothing wrong) of course they are now asleep and I am left feeling really guilty for losing it at them. arghhhhhh
