Husband's first day back in the office in 2 years so first time I've had to get both toddler and 5yo out the door for school without him for emergency backup if needed (toddler can be 'spirited' and not make things easy, as many are). Normally manage it fine without having to disturb him but, inevitably, when he wasn't here this morning, it was a disaster!!
Toddler, who hasn't had a leaky nappy for about a year, does a huge explosive poo whilst sitting on our bed 
. Then proceeds to throw a MASSIVE tantrum when I try change his nappy and clothes. Cue him banging his head on a door in temper...
Refuses to get in car seat (too late to walk by this point). Realise 5yo car seat not in car do have to sort that. Arrive at school as all other parents coming out of the gate and can't help feel they are all looking at us and somehow know all about the chaos that had just occurred and how bloody flustered I'm feeling. Toddlers vest is flapping out under his top as had no time for poppers and realised his hair is stuck to his forehead in a snotty mess post tantrum 
He continues with the ironing board pose as I try to wrestle him back into the car and screams all the way home where I struggle to get him out as I've parked too close to the fence in my stressed state.
Feel like having a little cry to myself about what a failure that all was. Toddler is now laughing away on my lap.....
