What about me??

[Arimeh]

But of course your DS’s “What about me” leads absolutely perfectly into a belting version of......... And I’d get down on your knees for some more rock effect.

Bahahahaha.... but would I do the good version or the Shannon Noll version?

[Epacris]

There’s something just so ummm.... ummm.... unashamed celebration of the bogan about the Shannon Noll version though.... I'd do that one. Do you have an old flanny your could rip off, chuck on the ground and stamp on.

Yes completely normal! You will also get versions of "Has she got exactly the same as me? Has she got more than me? Where's mine? Can I do that too?"

At least when they start school you get them separated for most of the day!

I totally am a singstar with the Shannon Noll version

I have an incrediably jealous and competitive child who I currrently have seeing a therapist because of it. He is the middle child too so he is just dynamite!!
Hopefully it is a just a stage your A is going through and will he will feel his place in the family is established soon. He is needing extra reassurance from you guys right now and perhaps feeling a bit lost. Nothing at all that you have or havent done its just the way some kids are made up.
With our A it doesnt matter what we say, do, dont say or dont do it is just never enough and he has started acting out to get more attention - hence the therapist.

I dont really have alot of advice just a knowing nod and a sympathetic shoulder. xxx

OMG, yes!!!!!!! DD drives me bananas. I can't even say things to the other two without the 'What about meeeee??????????' (whinge whinge whine...) I tell her I'm not talking to her. LOL. I guess I'm just nasty.....

DS is all about ME too. He wants something. we say no. He says, but I want to do what I want to do. Doing xxx would make me happy, and not doing xxx would make me unhappy.
It's hard to argue with this 'logic'.

Oh Hun, i think all kids go through the stage of 'What about me'.My oldest is 9 and he can be very much like this at times.Like Feijoa Mum said ,it's not because of something you did or dont do it's just a phase that hopefully wont last for too much longer.

Normal here - along with wanting to be first, the best, fastest, loudest and most obnoxious and most importantly to have the biggest and best of everything. FIRST. Arrrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
