    Hi

    Shauna83 yes our kids are very close in age..A typical day with Zander is he can be fine playing and if you want him to do something and he doesnt want it he will drop to the floor wherever he his whacking his head and then have a spack on the ground..I just tell him to stop it and walk away...he then gets up (usually crying) and is cranky pants..if its bad I put him straight into his bed. He can do this at a drop of a hat...It has even crossed my mind that he may have ADD or something else...but I think and hope its just a phase. I have been told by a child health nurse that he is learning to "self regulate"which means he is learning to know what he can and cant do and how his behaviour should be. I think every child goes through it...some just worse than others....I think it may depend on their individual personality.

    I saw that MEM thing....I think it was aimed at newborns being in child care ..which I dont agree with...It is a very sensitive topic....Each to their own

    Also Zander goes to daycare once a week at North Ward to give me a break and so he can make friends, learn social skills etc. We tried two days a week but it wasnt working for us.

    haha here i am going into a rant! can you tell im just ready to explode!!
    patience is getting tested sideways here! im ready to walk out today.
    I put twins into child care once a fortnight ( which is tomorrow if i think they are well enough) wed if they dont go in tomorrow.. i love it. I looked at going back to work full time to "get away" from kids and to stop fighting with ben coz i get mad at him because he works away.. but after child care fees it just wasnt viable, but it still crosses my mind that maybe financially it might not be worth it but for sanity reasons it might be..
    i was lucky my eldest 2 never really were to bad, michaela had shocking seperation anxiety though but thats about it, im hoping with the twins that they are okay aswell but who knows i agree with nicola i think sometimes its just personality.
