Just that really..DD has two friends who we see often on my two days off. Mums are lovely but a bit wet so the kids have little boundaries and rule the roost. Can't have a conversation without them fussing over the kids or we have to do whatever they want- like today kicking mud all over my daughter, adhering to their time schedules etc. They are so rude to me because apparently "four is too early for manners"?! I find it so draining but the alternative is entertaining DD all day by myself and she does like her friends. I find myself counting down the days until DD starts school so no more endless soft play, muddy parks, whinging kids, or toddler groups full of snotty kids..and then I feel awful for feeling this way. Is it just me?
I'm also a teacher so I have to bite my tongue all the time not to tell them off.
DD is lovely but quite high energy so a day at home often ends up boring her.
