You all know I have had plenty of difficulties with DS1 (8yrs) and this morning is no exception. I walked out to get a neighbour to help and then phoned DH. Got the kids to school and then went to my therapy session and spent the whole time talking about DS1 coming to the conclusion that I am scared of DS, he is in charge and almost like he is on a pedestal.
He is my first born, we thought we were going to lose him at 8 weeks and then nearly did at 38 weeks and he is my heart. I love him so much. I love my other children too but for me, my first born is a different relationship.
Currently my 4 year old is 6 minutes into a tantrum as I won't let him eat his crisps in the lounge. New house rule is all meals at the table as he will eat his crisps and then ask for food every 10 minutes but he isn't properly hungry as he will refuse fruit and bread and butter and just wants crackers and biscuits. I am trying to go back to a proper lunch at the table and then a snack at school pick up time.
I feel mean but I have told him the score.
I can handle ds2 much better than ds1.
