After 3 good days, I have the child from Hell this morning

[clumsymum]

Mon Tues and Weds were really good days, ds's behaviour was excellent. Yesterday we had a big day out with his friend, and he was pretty vile last night, which I put down to tiredness and over excitement.

But this morning he has been cheeky, defiant and violent by turns. To the extent that I've banned the TV (which is when he's become violent), slapped him on the leg with a paperback book (I've never done sxuch a ting before), and locked him in his room for 20 minutes.

Is it just me? Why is it when I made a special effor for a nice day out yesterday, he's sooo bl**dy horrid to me today?

I guess you are all out having a lovedly time with your angels

bump for clumsymum

My DS had been ill and is now feeling much better .He is busy winding his sister up badly as a cry for attention I think - but we go on holiday tomorrow and I am trying to pack - or at least sort stuff out in order to pack later

They all have days like this. And I'd probably put it down to tiredness and the heat - nicer thought than any other explanation too

I know what you mean!!!
I think that as well..why bother with nice things when they in return are vile.
I sometimes put it down to waking up on the wrong side of the bed, we all have days like that dont we, little people included.
Its so so so hard and sometimes i am just exsaperated by it.
Tomorrow is another day though.....
