Right at this very moment, the silence is BLISS. This is me time when the kids are all in bed and I can actually sit down and watch a bit of tv, unwind before I go to bed.
Does anyone have trouble with just one child who everyone else has to make allowances for?
DD is a real handful and if she is having a bad day then its like we all have to tread carefully so not to upset her and set off tantrums. not to say we let her get away with things but take the tv for example. If she is foul I will put Dora on for her and she will at least have a rest which she so badly needs and look out if the boys want to watch something. Its just easier to leave Dora on so she doesn't start screaming. i know its giving in to a certain degree but I feel bad for the boys and sometimes it is even something as simple as letting her choose a seat at the table even though one of the boys wanted to sit there kwim?
I know we do this with DS2. I often feel bad about it too. Then again most of the time the kids understand and are happy to, just so they not have to listen to the tantrum too!
ladies, havn't been in here for a while myself. My 4 kids keep me so busy, I'm in awe of all you ladies who have more.
