ARRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG i'm so peed today...

The girls are being an absolute nightmare. I went shopping today and they was ok when i got in there then they just started tormenting each other screaming and shouting all the way around. Then Jamie-leigh weed in my car which she has been really good for ages. Ashleigh has wee'd herself at teatime for the last 3 nights. Then when i got home Jamie-leigh told me toilet so i said get your potty its in the kitchen i'm getting the shopping in. So then she came in and wee'd all over my floor. So i put a nappy on her. Then Ashleigh wee'd and poohed in her pants so they are both back in nappies.

I then had to go and see the family planning woman and all they did was run around screaming and shouting again. Then they wouldn't come when it was time to go home and made me look silly as i had to fetch them out. I wouldn't mind but they are normally really good. I never have any real problems when i go out but all they have done is wound me up all day.

I have done nothing but shout and tell them no. I have tried sitting them down and explaining to them that they shouldn't do it.

Grrr now i am sat here writing this feeling really guilty as Ashleigh's sat next to me being really cuddly and cute with her teddy dog. I just know in the next 5 minutes they are going to be at it again. I haven't even started cleaning yet.

Today i feel really bad and as if i have done something. They haven't eaten anything that could send them this way so i am really at the end of my teather. I just really don't know how to cope with these days as they are few and far between...

I fully sympathise with you today. I haven't had more than 2 hours sleep a night for the last 5 nights with both the wee onees having the cold. They have been utter lil brats. Sophie was in the local shop today and flung the worlds biggest paddy when she couldn't have a pack of pens. So it was home and straight on the naughty step for her.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Hiya Em! It can be really hard work with two can't it?!?!?! Have you tried putting them on reigns? I had all three of mine on reigns with dog leads attached when they were all little!!! colour coded so i know which kid was which!! as they got older the threat of putting the baby leads on was enough to shut them up!! still take a set with me now just to wave in their faces!!! my boys are seven now so if they start, they are just about small enough to sit them in a baby seat in the trolley, one at a time the other walks next to the trolley.

if that fails take them on a very long walk before shopping they will be so knackered they will want to sit quietly!!!!

hope you are keeping well? chat sometime?

Kids, they certainly keep us on our toes don't they.

The only thing i have been told to when talking to kieran or any child don't treat them like little adults (even though we want to too respect them) but like animals, as i'm sure no one has ever heard a kid turn round and say now you explain it like that i see what was wrong! I never heard an adult say it let alone a kid!.... sorry this is all part of my course to learn how to deal with my son and his adhd from a 123 magic group! Handling difficult and disruptive behaviour from 2yrs - 12.

I've also got to undergo a positive parenting course! It's depressing! My son did a runner yesterday at school and invited himself into a after school club and said he couldn't remember what he'd done with the form...urm probably because he didn't bring one home. So i was panicing wondering where he was, teacher said it sounded a bit strange when she said all those going get your bags and make your way to the upper years library... he said i am but i need to see mum first! Cheeky little urgh!

Anyway let him stay as it's all exercise and balance etc... all good for his poor co-ordination etc.

Well i can almost breath easy today hehe.

They was starting this morning but i threatened to walk out and leave Kev with them all day lol. They wanted him and not me then soon changed their tune when they knew they would be without me. So they have been quite good so far. I have now got in the night garden dvd and they are watching that. Its on for over 2 hours so will see how long they sit and watch it for before they get bored lol. xxxxx
