The 2 yo that screams my house down and hits and head butted in the past is putting me through my paces today. Had a word with mum saying behaviour needed addressed. We agreed every time she screams etc we will set her in high chair on time out and if she really bad into the cot. Well if I have not been lifting her into or out of high chair today it has been the cot.... my arms ache. My head hurts and I'm turning grumpy. The other 2 yo and her fight a lot especially over toys for weeks I have been saying they are my toys I am being nice sharing them if you don't share I will take them away. So today I TOOK THEN AWAY I had enough of this fighting going on for weeks. Their faces.... don't think they thought I would do it.... going to let them entertain themselves with no resources this afternoon in the hope they will learn a lesson. Fingers crossed.

It's still scream central here.... There is no letting up today... ever have one of thethem days you feel like crying and say to a parent I never want your child through my door again because they would drain the ocean

Feeling a bit like this today too....

Had a schoolie swing for my dd6 before school because "she annoyed him"
Had another lo 23 months grab my dd2 face and leave a huge scratch mark because she had the toy car he wanted
& now 3'schoolies all constant "he said this, she said that"

Argh!

I took 3 to toddler group today, and all of them screamed. I was sat next to another childminder whose 3 also screamed. We had a joke about how stressful it was. 10 minutes later we looked up and half the parents had left. I felt like chasing after them and saying "try coping with this for more than half an hour!"
