well I totally lost it today. Took Pip to the shops, alone. He wanted lunch, so we had a lovely shared plate of chips, nuggets & spring rolls. He had a milkshake, I had a pot of tea. After that he wouldn't get out of the car ride as we were walking up to the butcher. I ended up hiding behind a telstra stand so I could see him, him not me, he eventually discovered that I wasn't there and the cries of "i wanna ride" changed to "I want my mum". Finally walked to the butcher, after 3 more tanties where I just continued walking, didn't buy into them. While at the butcher he ran up and down with my shopping cart/trolley thing, running over people's feet. Then at the fruit & veg he had a tantie as he wanted to put stuff from the basket onto the counter. It was chest-high for me! Then he didn't want to wait for me to load the shopping cart and had another tantie. Calmed down while we chose flowers. Finally leaving and he grabbed onto a display of gluten-free, dairy-free nut-free chocolate bunnies and pulled it over in another tantie cause I wouldn't buy him one, I caught it just before it smashed into the ground and lucky a couple helped me pick up the eggs. I was shaking, crying, yelling at Pip who was trying to run away still. I don't know what to do. I can't face him.
