Why is this all so hard some days? Took DDs (4.9) to school this morning, both happy as anything, they love school now, thankfully.
Took one into her class, no problem, took the other to hers and she starts clinging on to my coat, hanging off my scarf and doing lots of fake crying. I know its fake because there are no tears and she's smiling and she keeps looking over at her teacher, hoping she'll come over and take her from me. This is the 2nd morning she has done this and for some reason it hits a nerve and makes me see red .
Anyway, I started hissing at her to get off me and I tried to shake her off, then I threatened to smack her bottom in front her of friends. She wouldn't listen so I then hissed at her that I would ring Daddy and make sure he won't buying her any sweets when he collected her this evening (usual Wed eve treat).
I just handled it sooo badly. Why didn't I just take her to the teacher and raise my eyebrows with her and let her take her off me instead of losing it. I think I "lost it" fairly quietly, in a hushed cross way, but maybe all the other mothers/teachers heard and think I'm the devil mum from hell now .
