My three year old is trying to pull my hair out as i post. no need baby, i can do it myself...

[nightowl]

...after coming home from nursery and throwing a massive tantrum because she can't go to nanny's house.

I was greeted at the door by a kicking and screaming child who then spent approx. five minutes in the naughty room (porch), kicking the crap out of the door. (or launching herself at it who knows?)

i am calm.

not a one off, plenty of previous posts. she is going through one of her phases. a couple months good behaviour and a few weeks of hellbaby. however, she WILL NOT make me cry this time.

luckily, the bad stages are becoming less frequent rather than all the time. just need to get through the next few weeks now.

no replies neccessary...just neeeded to occupy myself while tantrum ebbed away.

i thank you

ok maybe just one reply so i wont make it into "unanswered threads"... its like being the school loner and having it written on the board . but tantrum is over now anyway.

(does it count if i answer myself ?)

not the school loner, I've just posted an award on the board for you "cool as a cucumber in the face of great provocation (subsection; tantrums)"

nightowl, i will answer just so you don;t feel alone! my dd has days like this, just hold out for a good day, it'l come!

my bf now also has a lovely message on his answerphone of my dd belting the door. (he DARE not answer me when im trying to occupy myself?) . he's saved it for reasons unknown but maybe he'll think im a sensitive sort and i will surely need chocolates and back rubs...poor bloke, he's driving over 200 miles to see me as it is. ah well, its Friday. Rambling incoherently is soothing strangely.......
