Libs is all about driving, I took her to legoland and let her have a go on the kids cars, she was shite, now she is too embarrassed to ask to drive my car again….

I’m glad it’s not just me…by teatime I would’ve given in to the box of cheerios too.
‘I your friend now’ – how adorable. How could any mother resist a smile at that?

I identified with so much in your post. My 2-y-o daughter going through similar phase – testing times at OH HQ… ‘Pick your battles’ is my mantra too. Sounds like you are coping admirably. You are not alone – we all have hideous moments like this, hang in there!

Oooh I remember one of those car seat battles when Chloe was little. It will pass! She is the best teenager now but was my stroppiest baby out of the three of them.

I am definitely learning to pick my battles! My sister a mum to a 14 and 8 year old always told me she chooses her battles hence why her 14 year old dyed his hair blonde and wore an earing for the summer. I never knew though that I had to start using this advice from when he was SO young! go figure. As for a toddler not wanting to leave nursery? Been there too and I was trying not to cry while he cried!

It’s definitely not our fault. The only way it’s my fault is that she has my genes and I used to be partial to the odd tantrum now and again, apparently. Of course I NEVER have them these days. *cough*
