I've been flying solo this week and I think I've just about burnt myself out, but I'm seeing lots of progress.
I've decided that I'm sorting out the house and more importantly the behavior. It had got to the point where i didnt take both to shops, and dont dare eat out with them, even hesitant at familys homes.

so, at the beginning of the week, we drew up house rules around respect, with individualised consequences, as they (and me) are very different. at first we butted heads for the first few days, there were tears, tantrums, and physical battles, but today, they played together for a couple if hours so nicely together, so I dared to take them to a shop, full of breakable stuff, and they were the most beautiful behaved children you ever did see. I Was so proud of them.

Next was the supermarket, and they started to slip, last was the fruit shop on the way home, and we left with Oliver having a full on 2 year old tantrum under my arm. Lesson learnt. They can be good, but not for more than an hour while out and about.

Onwards and upwards, tomorrows another day, and hubby comes home.

They are both really missing him, and me too.

Well done Weka.

Well done the littlies.

Tough love..but it needs to be done sometimes.

Lots of praise..you'll get there.

They sound like my boys actually, except my little ones are 16 and a week away from being 13

Lol Jo

Oh dear.

I think we've had a ceasefire this evening.
Tom has spoken to Joe for the first time since Tuesday.

Jo I'm really not looking forward to the teenage years. Really really not looking forward to it.

Today was a lovely day. Peace and tranquility, if you can call it that with a boisterous 2and3 year olds running around. But they played nicely together. We went to dinner at my Nanas, and they even sat nicely at the table and ate what was put in front of them. A first time ever at one of my family gatherings.

And today they ate back to grumpy s moos. Oliver in particular, but he is tired so I will cut him some slack today.
