We've struggled a bit these last two weeks, everyone has been ill and I have been exhausted. To make it worse Mr Toddler was beginning to resemble a child from a supernanny episode... So yesterday finally the light bulb came on, of course it's not him with the problem, it's me! In my exhaustion I had forgotten to show him the respect he is used to (there has been a lot of nos unfortunately) and had forgotten to have fun with them, parenting for me should not be about controlling my children but enjoying the time with them. I realized I had been very conditional in my behaviour towards him and it had made him worse.
So today we are still tired and ill but we are together again, no longer me and them, mommy loves you no matter how many times you pull my hair!!
