The morning was going so well, but now...

[emkana]

... I feel ready to lock her in the shed again.

We did baking and read lots of books together, now I asked her to just start off a puzzle by herself while I had a little break, and she is crying and sobbing.

Her clinginess drives me INSANE!!!
Btw, I'm talking about dd2 and she is 2.8.

Am now ignoring her, because I just want to scream.

typical for that age - they really want you to do everything with them.

Is she into drawing, or playdoh ?

or there is always the video when you really need a break

Cbeebies - do you have Freeview or satellite? I know TV is meant to be a Bad Thing but sometimes you NEED that remote control. When all else fails.

or help her make a 'den' and she may well happily play alone in there for a while.
thatalways worked for me with my little sister...
