Help Me!! DD1 is in a strop

[misdee]

she got up before 6am, and is now really bratty. she needs to eat her breakfast to have enough enenery on the way to harefield and the fun run. she is regusing it, is saying she is tired and doesnt want to do the fun run now. she is only saying that so she doesnt have to eat her breakfast. i am really really hacked off, and have sent her back to bed, we leave in about 2 hours though. i dont know what to do.

Leave her misdee. Let her have some time by herself. Then don't even mention it when you get her up to go, just take along plenty of healthy snacks that she likes (give her a box of raisins or an apple to eat in the car?). Should help them keep going on the run anyway!

oh hun, sending her back to bed for half an hour might help. maybe she'll calm down and then want some breakfast
or could you take something with you, not ideal but today is not the day for her to have nothing

how did last night go with the special bear???

Has she gone back to sleep do you know, or is she still kicking off?

she is quiet in her room. i shut the door. she may have dozed off.

off to sort out packed lunches now.

bloomin kids, they sure as hell know how to wind you up.

They know when you are busy and trying to get on with something important don' they?
All will be fine Misdee. Relax and enjoy the day - it will go very quickly. xx
