DS1 Disapproves of rain.
I took the edge off my frustration with some angry vacuuming. Of course, he disapproves of that, too, but by that point I just yelled back that he wasn't going to dictate my every move all day. So he hid under the sofa bed for a while, just coming out to disapprove of where I'd moved various bits of furniture to.
I remembered that I'd suggested we looked at Father's day cards on our walk and said we ddn't have to. 15 minutes later, he said he wanted to go, now.
And you know what? It had rained. Not heavily, but it was drizzly. So we got out, anyhow, after DS2 had scratched and pinched me and then headbutted me in the face when I turned him round and held onto his hands but didn't stand up fast enough.
DS2 was excited and leapt and squealed all the way to the doctor's, almost pulling me over several times. Meanwhile, DS1 careered blindly towards every puddle and pile of dog dirt he could find.
Prescriptions collected, I needed to get to the shop. DS2 didn't want to go that way. So he started wailing. The wailing lasted half an hour. DS1 can't stand DS2's wailing and was shouting "he's crying for nothing!" over and over and bouncing around even more than usual. Then it started raining again.
I've been cudlding DS2 on the sofa, with CBeebies on and it's topped the wailing. DS1 is constantly moaning that it's a repeat from this morning, though. And I've just had to send DS2 away because he's started pinching me again.
And there goes the wailing again...
I hear it's quite acceptable to down a whole bottle of wine and leave your kids in the pub.
