ok, here´s ds on a normal to bad day:
get up at 7, whinge for no apparent reason. Demand breakfast - cheerios. Cry hysterically at cheerios being then poured into a bowl. Refuse - hysterically - to sit on own tripptrapp, demand to sit on big sister´s tripptrapp.
Refuse milk when offered. When back of adult is turned, attempt to pour entire newly opened bottle of cravendale over cheerios, self, table, floor, sister´s tripptrapp.
Cry and refuse cheerios. Demand muesli instead. Eat raisins from muesli, demand yoghurt. Hysterical because from frais pots have been separated and not left as pair. Refuse to eat from frais.
TV offered - go and watch Cbeebies for 2 minutes.
Decide to ´hug´ the TV so that sisters cannot see the screen. Cry when told to stop. Not stopping. forcibly removed. Hysterical.
Calmed down in some way or another. Notice that mother is eating breakfast in peace (red rag to a bull).
Cling to mother´s leg and cry for more cheerios/yoghurt/banana which gets peeled and squashed all over the floor.
Mother gives up on eating breakfast and gets showered. Argue with sisters whilst mother showers.
Do big sloppy poo.
Deny having done a poo. Mother gets changing mat out - pick up changing mat and stuff it behind the armchair again. Repeat (twice). Be wrestled to ground by mother and biggest sister, scream hysterically. Attempt to touch willy with poo all over, resist wiping.
Get dressed but complain bitterly about getting undressed first, holding on to pyjama top for dear life. Cry.
Mother gets completely the wrong shoes. Cry, cry and cry some more so she gets it - these shoes are WRONG today. Have right shoes put on. Go to kitchen and get crisp packet. Have crisp packet taken away. Hysterical.
Go to car. Demand to sit on sister´s booster seat. Cry and arch back, kick when put into own booster seat. Wind down window on car journey, out of mother´s reach.
Drop sisters off at school.
Home. Spend the day clinging to mother´s leg crying. For a change maybe tear a few flaps off some lift-the-flaps books. If mother is the computer, do everything to hit the keyboard and press trackball buttons.
Help load the washing machine. Turn dial to 90 degree wash when nobody is watching.
Demand food and then don´t eat it throughout the day. If food is denied have big, lying-on-floor tantrum.
Don´t nap. get mother to lie down with you for half an hour and then get up and run after her crying when she´s been tricked into thinking her ruse was successful and got out of your bed, eagerly anticipating a 45 minute break.
Pick up sisters. Once home, argue with them all afternoon.
Bedtime - get put to bed and then get up again - at least 20 times, at which point parent will get v. cross indeed and hold door shut. Scream and eventually give up and go to bed. Sleep - until 1:30, at which point you have a right for your mother to vacate her nice big bed and down duvet, so that she can sleep in your cute little flexa bed, clearly designed for a small child and not a 5ft10in adult, and you can sleep in hers, next to father. Sometimes it can take mother up to 1.5 hours to realise that this is your RIGHT and that you will not give in, no matter how much she sits with you, gets cross etc.
Sleep some more in nice big bed under lovely duvet, next to warm man.
