There is a top violinist playing at the concert hall in town. One day only, he has brought with him his young students. I booked tickets for myself and ds1 (6 1/2)as he is really eager on the violin.
But, it is too late and not really suitable for ds1 who is 3. So, we decided my dh should take him to see a childrens show at the cinema, rather than stewing at home.
Ds2 was delighted when he heard the plans, really happy and excited. It was a film ds1 earlier had said he did not want to see as if was "too childish"
DS1 threw such a tantrum, shouting and kicking that his brother got to go to the cinema and not him. AND his brother got to eat popcorn, and not him.
Ds2 started crying.
We make popcorn once a week, at least. It was a film he did not want to see.
He woke up this morning, quivering lips, glancing at his brother saying "I dont want to see Mummy Moo (film)."
He is now at the cinema with dh. He was not a happy chappy, he is a very sensitive little boy. It seems his brothers prolongued outburst and displeasure that ds2 should also have some enjoyment has really put him off it.
It has put me off. I am not taking him. I am sad and angry and upset. He seems unable to comprehend what he is doing is wrong. £70 wasted. Shit.
