Just been shopping to try to get ds1, 5.6, new school shoes. I do try to avoid shopping as much as possible, but sometimes it's essential and I also want dc to learn how to behave in shops, take no for an answer etc. But he is so bloody demanding it drives me crazy! He spends the whole time asking for things, even if we are in a woman's clothes shop, and moans and moans about not getting things, we always say no etc.
Whilst we were there I had to get a present for another child, so I get "why do you always get good presents for other people, can I have one, it's not fair blah blah blah". Considering we've just had christmas, therefore he has received lots of nice presents, why doesn't he seem to have any appreciation for this? Am I expecting too much of a five year old to be more grateful?
