DD has thrown some shockers and no-one in my Mothers Group will believe me as she's got a reputation as such a happy-go-lucky baby.

Her biggest ones have been over leaving the swimming pool - it took DP and I about 15 minutes to get her dressed because she was screaming and kicking so much and leaving the playground (after 90 minutes of going on the slide non-stop and shouting "more, more" each time she got off).

She was having tantrums at the drop of a hat at home too that reached a peak a few months ago (about 20 months).

Thankfully, they have died down A LOT. She even left the playground the other day with no tears though she did stage a sit-down protest on the footpath when she realised we HAD actually left.

The public ones are a tad embarrassing. DP and I try to smile and laugh and say stuff like, "yes, DD you're so hard done by, you have such a rotten life ... would you like to swap places with a kid in the Gaza Strip?"
