I am knackered emotionally and hurt physically but oh my goodness the sense of achievement

is massive!

DS2 misbehaved in the shoe shop. Was given warnings, carried on so lost the park trip and potential ice cream.

We get home, he hits his brother, refuses to do time out, hurts me, goes down for his nap, misbehaves again, loses 2 toys.

End result - DS2 napping, knowing Mummy means business.
End result number 2 - Mummy's arms in pain from more muscle damage when trying to hold him but a child who finally knows that I mean what I say.

I am sure some will think I have handled things wrong but just for today, let me enjoy my tiny sense of achievement and no one rain on my parade.

And a mum told me I was a great mum and handled DS2 perfectly.

Plus the nurse taking my blood thought I was a student of about 19-20.

Nobody can dispute how you handled that. It has the desired result so well done you!

Well done! Sounds like you were consistent and followed through. Life gets much easier once they believe that you will do what you say you will.

I think my arnica is just out of date.

So pleased you think I did it well. Just a few years too late but never mind.

Slap it on anyway - what harm can it do?!

Sticking with it today and he is getting the message. Still tries it on sometimes but we had one thing where he did as I said immediately without trying it on,
