kids being horrible!

Had a party last night and so both children in bed later than usual, never mind, it’s a Friday.

Except both woke up very early, still tired and horrible. DS is being purposefully obtuse and annoying, DD is emotional and wailing over nothing.

and still got a whole day to get through 😭

Divide and conquer? Put on a film and snuggle up on the sofa/bed with DD and she might fall back asleep. Suggest to DS he watches the film or plays in his room

You’re not alone! DD1 woke up at 5 this morning, won’t let me go near her, has screamed at every suggestion I give her, is furious whenever I pick up DD2. DH has gone out for the day and I’m supposed to be taking both girls to see Santa! Don’t think I’ll bother 😬

How old are they? Maybe the concert will shake them out of it? Early to bed tonight!!!
