it's 23:30h and I am paying for letting DD2 (aged 7 ?ASD) watch Merlin, against my better judgement. And it was extra scarey tonight! DD2 wanted to watch it because she was playing with her older sister who loves it, and they were sat together when it came on. I KNEW I shouldn't have!
About 21:30 She cried out from upstairs very afraid, and we sang some silly songs and read a chapter from The Faraway Tree. Unsuccessful, as:
22:15 she was back downstairs telling me that her room needs to be re-painted '...because monsters come into pink rooms but not blue rooms' (er yeah right....). Still not sorted.
Then later DD2 demanded to go and sleep with DD1 as she is afraid of the lampshade in our bedroom (true actual and well established fact) and can't sleep in our room.
So about 22:30 they went in together.
Then all hell is breaking loose and I tell them they can watch 'Gangnam Style' then settle down and sleep.
Then 20mins later they are still chatting and get some stern words from me.
Now at 23:37 they are both in tears about the fact that their 'feet keep touching each other'.
So now we are at deadlock. My next strategy is to get them to swap bedrooms! I am so not ready to go to bed yet (woke up at 9am this morning!) So I think there is some way to go yet.....
I have well and truly broken it.
Oh dear. Tomorrow is gonna be ugly. Dear Lord.
