My 6 year old ds has acted like a total and utter shit today. It's taken every inch of my will power not to yell at him / whack him. He's just refused my offer to have a NYE disco upstairs with him, in favour of 'daddy' who is deserting us in an hour to go out on a little nye jaunt of his own (i'm the default babysitter so can't go out). This was going to be our special time, a little party of our own, but he has cried and whined he wants daddy, so I've given up and am sipping g&t in front of the telly, wiping my tears. Excuse my langauage but he's been a challenging bastard today and I don't actually like him at the moment.
