Ds won't eat anything apart from buttered bread, the odd piece of cheese, bananas and milk. It hasn't worried me too much before because I know he eats well at nursery. Now he's started to eat less at lunch there as well, while still eating his snacks (toast in a.m., fruit p.m.). He's also started to use wanting a weewee as a delaying tactic. For everything. Tonight he sat on the potty for 15 minutes without doing anything. He does this several times every day. He says he needs the potty and then he doesn't do anything. The minute he gets up, he wants to wee again, and still nothing happens. It can go on for ages! Then he says he want to eat something, e.g. sweetcorn with pasta and meatballs, then he refuses to even taste it when I've prepared it The only thing he'll eat willingly is buttered bread/toast (and biscuits but I refuse to give in to that one). He challenges me on everything I ask him to do, but with his dad he's compliant. Teh staff at nursery have started to notice that he'll be happy to see me when I arrive but that he starts playing up when I try to get us home. Today it took three people including me 10 min to cajole him to put his coat on when I came to collect him (I hate to use the if-you-don't come-now-I'll leave-without-you-line as I don't think it is fair on him). He refuses to get out of the bath. He refuses to go to sleep (procrastinating with the potty again). He doesn't want to get dressed. He won't sit at the table to eat (when he eats). He'll do it at nursery but refuses at home. He doesn't want to go to nursery in the mornings even though he likes it there. He doesn't want to come home. He doesn't want to get into the car. He wants to talk to daddy on the phone but he doesn't want to talk to daddy on the phone. He want a bath, but doesn't want a bath. He's driving me around the bend! My husband is away and no one else seems to have this problem with him. I lost my rag with him tonight and shouted at him. He shouted back, which was fair enough I think. I've just had enough. He and I rarely seem to have much fun at the moment. Is this how it is set to continue until he's 30?
