Urgh I hear you. First time at a new playgroup and the kids are allowed everywhere but the altar, where is my DS? The bloody altar. Over and over Im telling him no. getting him down , even resorted to a smack on the thigh, but he wouldnt stop. Didnt help that the DDs were a tad panicky about the strange place if mummy wasnt right next to them (more so DD2 & 3, DD1 took 5 minutes to adjust and was off). What would have been a 5 minute walk home was closer to 20 with DS ignoring me and wandering off (imagine me wearing a ring sling with DD1 &3 crammed in it together, pushing DD2 in a stroller and trying to hurry DS along cz its so hot and btw DS wont wear his shoes but is whinging cz the road is hot )
