I just give up. Thought I would do the right thing and try to spend some one on one time with DD this morning. Took her to the local park after dropping DH off at work. Not the best times as everything was wet, so we walked around the lake looking at the ducks and then across the road to the beach where she could watch some horses being taken for a trot. Kind of killed me with my instable pelvis, but I kept on going for as long as I could before getting her back to the park. She was able to have a play this time. I was getting tired and hungry so decided it was time to go. Gave her lots of warning and explained it was so we could have some food. Well she tantrumed again, she wanted icecream and to stay. Ended up having to walk off on her and then tell her that if she did not come with me that there would be no swimming with daddy later. So she came to the car and then ran away screaming. She knows never to run away in the car park, so I was furious at her, thankfully it was a quiet morning and safety was not that much of an issue.

It just makes me wonder why I bother, I do something for her and it just ends in screaming and tears. I just can't win
