It's mad isn't it. I've spent the last 6months preparing him, but he's finding the reality difficult. He's a quiet sensitive type too, and his unsettledness is being shown in general naughtyness, rudeness and whingyness, and other attention seeking behaviour.
Dh reacts big time, comes down hard, shouting and generally losing cool and of course ds repeats the behaviour or it deteriorates and so it all escalates. not helped by the fact the grown up stuff is really stressful at the mo, so dh tense anyway. And of course we end up arguing that I am too soft, don't blame me if he grows up into a yob etc etc. Not good.
He's absolutly desperate for attention isn't he? he gets it positively, don't get me wrong, but all this is simply his way of asking for more, so ideas please? I've tried a lot of the obvious, cuddle up with a video while feeding(one of the flashpoints, the other when tired/hungry) stories, and so on.
Anyone? I'm missing my ds with his nice hat on
