Why all my headings is always the opposite of what the ting supposed to be. No means yes, sharing means not sharing. So we had a sharing issue yesterday. En is using the music player, JD wants it Naowwww. Then he start to bawl and run and act de bottom because I say he will get it after. So he get send in his room. Yeah ok...he not staying there. So my new thing to do with him is to show him that 'Hey mummy not going to get frustrated, nor am I going to shout, nor am I going to ask you over and over to do the same thing. You will stay where I tell you and if you try to move I will hold you and by the way , you not stronger than me, so you can fight and I will whistle a happy tune out loud, then you will get tired but by then I might be so internally irritated you might just go straight to your bed so go ahead. This has worked the last few times. He calms down because he wants to go play, we have a chat then he goes quietly and sits wherever I tell him. Not yesterday. Ohhhh nooooo...a good 45 minutes I holding this child. And when I say hold I don't mean in any rock-a-bye baby hold eh. Is more a trap, between meh legs, with his arms by his side. Anyhow so that he can't get away. Because clearly I have nothing to do. Then to get me more vex I realize but wait, he standing in one spot, I holding him there, he bawling WHILE he watching America's Next Top Model. I could barely hear Tyra Banks but he well watching the show and making sure to keep up the noise and the struggle. Buhwhade...steups.
He finish that cry in his bed, and fall asleep sitting down because it would have been against his principles to actually lie down like i said and sleep. So he sit down and sleep instead. 3 yrs old. Imagine if he was a girl what I would have to deal with when she becomes an obstinate teenager. Thank God for small mercies?

I have 2 boys 3 & 4 so I know what yuh saying.
But they say girls easier at this age, and then theboys easier as teens.
I can only hope.
i was just saying the other day to myself, "girls are not this physically draining" My word!
Ladies that is what I sit and be grateful for. I say i know if i had a daughter like this, as a teenager she would be aw.ful. I am not sure I can handle a teenage daughter who was anything like i was. I might have to put a 14 yr old out the house or something. I figure boys always always love mummy more than anything and i thank God for that yes.
My boys are 8 going on 18 and 6 going on 26 and the older one reaches me just under my chin.

It wouldn't be weird to adopt someone, whoever you adopt wouldn't be a 'big' brother though...lol maybe to the boys :S
