We've had a somewhat frustrating summer.
Dd1 is a few weeks of 9 and is doing a very fine job of completely sucking the joy out of family life.
She doesn't want to do anything. I'm not talking about a full six weeks of big outings and activities, whatever we plan to do gets a no and a load of moaning.
Park = no
Cinema = no
Crafts = no
Swimming = no
Staying at home and doing nothing = no
Museum = no
Walk = no
Staying at home and doing nothing = no
Playing in the garden = no
Playing with her sister = no
No point in attempting to do anything as the attitude, moaning and miserable face ruins it for everyone. So it's a vicious cycle.
Moaning like there's no tomorrow about school on Monday.
Are they all like this?
