Trill, DH and W have a great relationship during the day. It is only at night that things get strained. And I understand why. It is such hard going when it is 3am, W has been screaming and yelling for an hour and it is the third time that night that he has done it. I haven't really heard of any other kids having night tantrums but it is absolutely infuriating! He hasn't been too bad lately, I copped one the other night but mostly he is having quick resettles.

But the daytime tantrums have returned. I am sick of it. Every time I tell him to do something he acts like it is a democracy and gives me "I will do it after xyx" or "oh, but..." or "I'm too tired". Then when I tell him to do it now he starts crying and screaming. This morning has been particularly bad and my throat hurts from yelling at him. I feel terrible for A who has to watch the whole thing whilst being ignored.
