It was lovely and sunny here, but looks like it's going to rain. I'm supposed to be gardening/tidying spare room which DH and DS are at SaturdayMorningSportingActivity
DS had full on meltdown in Tescos yesterday evening - sitting on floor crying and refusing to go anywhere so I walked off to the end of the aisle and let him get on with it (much to the amusement of security guards ("Yeah, I do to ours when they do that") and concern of passing shoppers) He came to find me when I moved round the corner and caried on sobbing disconsolately and kicking my bag, then walked back to the car wailing that I was the worst Mummy ever and that he was never going to get me anything for mothers day or my birthday ever again, and I was a horrible person, and I never get him anything, or do anything for him. etc etc. This carried on all the way home in the car, with things being chucked from the back seat to the front passenger seat and "You promised you'd buy me something... you broke a promiiiiiseeee " and general traumatised stroppiness. This was all because Tesco were out of stock of minifigures and I said the magazine he wanted was too expensive. And then of course I couldn't buy him the magazine as a consolation because he had a meltdown about it all.
Of course. Two hours later he was snuggled up in bed telling me that he loved me and giving me kisses etc.
So DS will probably getting a minifigure or the magazine on their way home and he gets to be the 'good cop' again. FML, I know it's not true but it feels like he gets to do all the fun stuff, and I'm the one who makes sure homework gets done and gets him to bed on time and and and... not ture of course.
I read some research once that said that for every negative comment, you need about seven positive ones to outweigh it, psychologically speaking.
Maybe I should take up alcohol I'm told it helps sometimes. If I applied myself I'm sure I'd get to like it eventually.
Here endeth the self-pitying gloom-post
