OMG. DS is seriously doing my freaking head in. Since he was a baby he would freak out when I turned the vaccum cleaner on. Then he loved it. And then since he loved it so much we got him one of his own, so he could follow along behind me.

And now - omg - as soon as I turn the bloody thing on he turns into this manic idiot. Seriously!! It does my freakin head in. He'll say - ooh thats loud mummy - and then he'll start screaming and squealing and running around in circles, and all up and down the hallway (continually screaming) and no matter how many times I tell him to CALM DOWN - he just WILL NOT. So I end up screaming at him (because its soooo freaking annoying to have this screaming manic idiot running around whilst you are trying to vac the bloody floor) and he will not calm down until I turn the vac off. I mean, yeah, gives me a great excuse to not vac my floors because my son turns into a complete idiot who I just want to give a great big smack and get him to act NORMAL!!! But geez - I just wanna vac my floors in peace!!!!!

Does he have a problem going on in his head - or is this normal behaviour for a nearly 3 year old?!
