I know the answer already, just need some reassurance that I am doing the right thing!!
DD (age 6) woke up at 5.20am this morning,she has always had problems with her sleep, but we continued in the same way as always "go back to bed and stay there DD it is not time to get up yet"
Cue shouting, screaming stamping of feet and arunning inbetween our room and hers every 10 minutes for the next hour and 10 minutes. At 6.30 I said she could do her Kumon homework,which then took her an hour instead of 20 minutes! and then we had a whole drama about her getting herself dressed (wineing about putting socks on etc etc)
The upshot of this is that I have said that she cannot go to the school disco this afternoon.
Cue a very emotional scene at school, her crying, me feeling terrible and ALL of her friends bringing in party clothes for this afternoon.
I FEEL CRAP!!! I know that I did the right thing, but I feel so terrible.
Do I cave and take her dress in??
Help me wise mumsnetters......
