Hm, usually an easy going,calm individual i find myself wanting to grab ds by the head and throw him into the freezers in tesco and firmly lean against the doors!
I know, i know its awful and OBVIOUSLY im joking but OMG what shall i do?
He stands up in the trolley, even when strapped in. Continuously climbing out and screeming at the top of his lungs as i try to wrestle him back in. When we get to the check out i cant pack the shopping AND hold him in the trolley.
I have tried:
Snacks,i save them till the last possible moment then drip feeding them to him,
Toy, he just throws this at some poor old pensioners head.......
persistance, i always always sit him back down in the trolley and tell him while im doing it.
I cant not take him as ive no one around to look after him for me.
Its probably just a phase like every thing else but its begining to make my blood boil
At 20 months, he is too young to reason with.
Any suggestions?
Come across this before?
What did you do?

hm,let me recap........out of the trolley....OMG NOOOOOOOooooooo we did this today in Ikea and he went round like a child possessed, head spinning and every thing!
Give him items or goods to be purchased....remember the poor old pensioner...he aims at any passer by and is very precise! If i wasnt so stressed i would be really quite proud and impressed!
Feed him grapes/raisins/babana....i am unable to pick up food stuffs from shelves with masticated fruit up my sleeves and in my palm as i struggle to find the tissues carefully secreted in my pocket...which is securely zipped up!
Stickers on card......yes, we leave a crumb trail around Tesco of said stickers as they get chewed and dropped overboard...
I go with my list, know exsactly what we need, go Monday morning when we can be in and out without queing, am in the store for literally 30/40 mins and still its HELL.
Thankyou all for your advice, it truly is gratefully recieved. I think i like the sound of the evening shop without DS or the on line suggestions.
The next time you hear an hysterical toddler and see a moth eaten mother wearing slippers and a tiara.......it wont be me
