No matter how hard I try, I’m not treating my children equally at the moment.
The girl has been fairly ill-tempered over the last few days, with very good reason. Her mother is not acting as usual, she’s had to miss naps for various appointments and she’s been denied things “because we can’t have them in case they make the boy ill” and some trips out “in case there are things there that will make the boy ill”. I’m not suprised she’s feeling a bit out of sorts.
What does surprise me is that when she’s not in meltdown (about 50% of her day) she’s incredibly sunny. Good-tempered by nature I guess.
The beauty spot is biro by the way.
I’m incredibly impressed that the one person she’s not taking her anger and lack of sleep out on is the boy. They are obviously very fond of each other and she’s been very gentle with him since last Wednesday.
As for the boy – he’s only 22 months and hasn’t a clue what, if anything, is going on. It’s business as usual for him.
i love that she so sweet on him. love the glasses too.
heh, love it.
Good for her. She’ll learn to deal with it just like all of you will. I just wish you didn’t have to!
She’s learning responsibility at an early age! What a great big sister!
Love the photos sweety, and please dont stress about not treating them the same – life happens and it’s good for them to learn that they cant always have what they want. The time may come when your lil lady has to have a trip to a&e and the wee guy will be the one in the back seat (although I really really hope that doesn’t happen and you don’t see a&e until you’re welcoming grandchildren to the world!).
((hugs)) and chocolate xx
I suppose that’s a good thing, he won’t even notice things being removed from his diet.
Also, gorgeous.
I was SO going to ask about the beauty spot!!
Good that she’s not taking it out on him… and that she’ll save all of her anger for…um, you? Yeah, that’s good. Yeah.
Bless patient big sister and her groovy glasses, and bless oblivious cheery boy!
