DH has just emailed me to say he is leaving work. My time as a full time mum is almost over.
Maybe we should try for a third.
Joke.
He'd better be bloody bringing champagne home. DD1 has been totally uncontrollable all day.
I think, along with what pidj pointed out that it is to do with LO's mobility. She has got more violent with LO this week because suddenly LO is allowed out of the baby jail and is all over the place, touching DD1's toys and taking up more space and energy. I think DD1 preferred it when LO stayed in the cage with her own toys iyswim. Now the only place DD1 can play peacefully, aside from going to her own room, is sat up at tanle colouring etc. Which is fine for a short while. So it could be something as simple as not wanting to share floorspace.
At the nursery this wouldn't be a problem as they are not her toys, and she'll be in a group of children who are big enough to give as good as they get. She wasn't particularly violent at nursery before. I remember once one of the minders said she had bitten another child, but that was a one off - she doesn't do that now - and another time had hit another child, but I think the odd exchange of slaps is par for the course at that age. They were certainly never worried about her behaviour.
Though of course I am going to spend the next few weeks dreading a phone call to say she has attacked another kid. Despite me honestly thinking she won't.
I'm just a stressball aren't I? I think she has been worse the last two days as the email from work yesterday really sent me into a tizz, despite it being perfectly polite and professional.
Anyway, in the next 40 minutes my failed attempt at being a SAHM is finally at an end.
