DS1 urinated in rage on Father Christmas....

.... A trip that was hard won with getting dressed nearly nicely this morning (with only a small paddy) and then listening to his 2 y.o. Litlle brother throw a 40 minute blue fit about the importance of winter clothing. An experience enhanced by two separate sets of neighbours stopping to make small talk with me, and a couple of strangers kindly pointing out that my blanket was dragging on the floor. I bit my tongue not to point out that I'd cut holes in the damn blanket so that I could buckle it on top of Ds2, so a bit of mud in the corner is, frankly, incidental.

Can anyone beat that for a crappy tantrummy day?

That's it, Christmas in cancelled, I give up.Arghh.

That is having a tantrum in style! You'll be dining out on that one for years to come, Sylvanian.
Was relieved to see that it's not just my daft DS2 who has tantrums over clothes (and he even had a strop over his hair when he saw his shadow and said it looked stupid Confused

Oh dear. I think you deserve a peaceful cuppa and some chocolate - that day takes some beating.

I wasn't rude tinsel, but to 'fix' the blanket, I would have had to let go of DS1, who was perched on the back of the maclaren wearing this seasons winter menswear fashion 'wet trousers covered with fleecy dolphin blanket sarong'.

It was just a different league of problem...

But you have made everyone reading this chuckle!

Does that compensate at all for your shit day?

SylvanianFamily · 22/12/2010 18:21

Between that and the gin served in pint glasses, I'm feeling slightly better.

Ds1 and ds2 managed to instigate a paper plate fight over tea (Two boys. Two identical plates. one placed on the table a second before the other one. Hear those tigers roar) but I can see the end in sight.
