Advice anyone please! We are on holiday with my 6 year old who is constantly complaining. E.g We spend all day doing what he wants to do - bouncing on trampoline, swimming, playing tennis with him.. but if we ever want to go anywhere do anything he refuses to go and complains.. he is being so moody and whines about everything ... there is leaves and water on the trampoline... I go to get a broom and hear him shouting - I sweep all the leaves off and then jump with him and he complains at me for jumping near him and making water go on him... the big bouncy ball is not bouncy enough on the trampoline - he wants me to get the small one.. I say he has to get it if he wants it and he throws the big one off and the whines that he wants it on again..
I say let's go out to craft store and we can get some supplies... he said he's not going... his grandma suggested now he stays at the house with his grandpa while we go... I'm losing my patience and don't know how to deal with it..
I explained to him that we spend a lot of time doing things he wants to do and maybe we don't feel like doing those things all the time but we do it because we love him and want to make him happy and he needs to do what we want to do sometimes but I think that made him upset... honestly I'm completely at my wits end - I wish I was more resilient... any advice on how to deal with this?
Should we let him stay at home and not do the things he wants and stay with grandpa? I just feel like we are always doing what he wants...Any advice on how to be more resilient with this kind of thing? Two weeks of holiday left...
Thanks for reading!
