To expect to get the same DD (8) I had in the summer hols back from school?

[Oxymoronic]

I think they may have accidently sent me back her evil twin, arguing, cheeking us back, running about like she's had 12 coffees in a row...what did I do to deserve this??

She is probably tired, dd like this too, absolutely knackered after only 2 days!

Oh god I thought it might get better with age..DS has come back having HUGE melt downs he's 5.5.

My 10 year old still does meltdowns,but she does say sorry afterwards now.I think its hormones starting early.

Its quite a relief to know this is not uncommon. I suspect he's been a bit 'naughty' in school today as well. DS was just beyond the pale tonight but he did keep saying he was tired and actually lay down on the playground as we left. He is just awful when he gets tired like this, he can hardly string a sentence together.

If only she was tired pinkted I could get her off to sleep before 10! she just can't seem to switch off, prob info overload bless her
