Just wanted to die/cry

[2000milestoeidsvold]

had dd1's mainstream kindy christmas and break up party this morning. Dd1 did reassly well considering she is having a really off week at the moment UNTIL the end when a poor little girl came to wish her a happy christmas and dd1 just lost the plot. Cue dd1 slapping this girl on the face and having a mini meltdown.....

just wanted the earth to swallow me. I waited till dd1 seemed a little calmer and got her to come and sit with me.... she sat and calmed down and did say sorry to the other little girl.

Her mother was very understanding which made me feel even worse.

I was already teary as dd1's two fabulous aides aren't going to be there next year and so that was tough to say goodbye after all they had done for dd1 and seeing the other kids respond and compare to dd1 ( I know I am not usually one for comparisons). Add in pregnancy hormones and I was a mess......

But that is it - all parties and pressure off dd1 now..... poor thing - she could not understand why they were not playing at kindy cause that is what happens every day at kindy.....

Oh Eids. It sounds very traumatic. It must have been quite stressful for DD1 with it all being so different to normal and crowded. I found DD's christmas party stressful enough, and I'm the grown-up. I bailed with DD before it finished. Just too many toddlers and parents in one little room.

At least the other mum was nice about it, much better than her being a bitch.

Now go and sit down with a nice biscuit and put your feet up and stop feeling bad about it.

Just sending hugs honey!!{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}

It's such an emotional and stressful time of year anyway, we tend to cram so much into our already hectic lives!

dingle it has been a nightmare week

sat - break up/christmas party
sun - huge party for kids with sn - over 2500 kids and another 2500 in carers as well as helpers etc

mon - finished up with swimming teacher she has had for 2 years
wiggles concert

tues - therapy sessions - wore her out

wed - dentist - always stressful

thurs - kindy christmas/break up party

poor wee thing was just so over it all - just stressed out.....

thankfully today she is going to my mum's whilst dd2 and I go to mother and toddler swimming class.

then christmas/summer holidays are here for 6 weeks - not much to do but chill out and take it easy.

thank goodness - I am worn out and not sleeping properly... poor dh is working long hours in this acting position

The nightmare of pre-school parties, eh?

I hope you're feeling a little (or a lot!) better now.

yes - caught up with friends last night for dinner - not having to cook was great - friend is a fabulous cook.... nice to jsut sit around ( sort of - whilst keeping an eye on the monkeys) and have dinner.

Oh no you poor thing. DD1 must have been so, so stressed out to react that way bless her.
My DD1 pushed quite hard the other day and all he was doing was giving her a hug.

Have as peaceful and relaxing a holiday as you can, eidsvold - best wishes to you all.
