My 3.5 year old has been so hyper all day, not fun excited hyper but like a child I don't even recognise! Bouncing off walls, screaming and screeching at top of his lungs, throwing toys, demanding sugar and sweets and anything unhealthy. My parents are staying and my mum keeps saying rules don't apply at Christmas, let him enjoy the magic, he can have as much chocolate and sweets as he wants. I can just see how out of sorts he's acting and think well no clearly he still needs some boundaries as he isn't coping with the excitement otherwise! He kept picking up a huge box of toys and just tipping it all over the floor manically laughing, he's never done this before, I'm 9 months pregnant and didn't want to risk falling over them so after the third time he did it I took them away and he started scratching me!! Just really not himself today he's not been fun to be around, he's been really stressful to be around and constantly on the verge of a tantrum and expecting to get everything he wants thanks to my mum. She's acting like I'm being too strict and ruining it and doesn't understand why I feel this way. I was excited for this Christmas as I thought it was the first one he'd get and everyone says it's so magic but if tomorrow goes anything like today im just going to be on edge all day! Is this not the magic age? Is it like 5+?!
