Apologies for the moan but I am so glad today is over!!!!!
It started badly when mindee1 arrived 40 mins early. I was expecting him a bit early but was also expecting his mother to call last night to tell me what time they were coming! He threw a tantrum on the doorstep then I managed to catch my jumper on the lock of the door and ripped it!!!!! It's pretty much gone down hill from there.
BUT it's over now and I have 3 days with no mindees.
It's funny coz last week I was reading something about giving time-out to children who mis-behave and was thinking how lucky I am that my mindee's are so easy and I never have any trouble with them. Then this week, 2 weeks after his 2nd birthday mindee1 has become really tricky. He shouts at everyone, takes toys, and general terrible 2 yr old stuff!! He and other 2 yr old mindee are constantly bickering and it has driven me bonkers this week. If anyone has any tips/techniques to difuse ww3 breaking out every 5 minutes I'd be very grateful!
I'm going to go and have a well-deserved lie-down in a darkened room with a large vodka and Hugh Grant (on dvd unfortunatly!!).
Sorry for the moan!!!!!!
