16 MO DD2 was sat in her highchair shouting me when I was in the kitchen.

I went into the front room to see what she was up to, and if it wasn't for the horrified look in her eye I would have mistaken the 'mass' on her outstretched hand for peanut butter, (totally forgetting I'd just given her a marmite sarnie) when in fact she'd been rooting around in the sneaky poo bomb she'd just dropped.

Too early to be enrolling her for GCSEs next year?

She hates them too anna, but I zig zag between being hands off and an authoritarian parent, clearly giving mixed messages to my DDs.

Keeps them on their toes and me in control.

I'm sorry, I'm completely confused - how is this G&T behaviour?
