Tantrums..

oh tom is testing me this week he really is.
hes feeling left out alot at the moment as ellen is going through a particalry clingy phase... and it seems to be resulting in tantums, kicking, biting, and pinching.
my god is it making me depressed. i have found myself in tears alot this week, and am fearing PND may be rearings its ugly head again. (did i mention i suffered PND with tom?) i am finding it much harder to cope with than it was pre-ellen, as i cant give him enough one-to-one time. Michael suggested taking Tom out for an hour once a week when he is off work an see if that helps so i will be trialing that next week once Michael has a day off.
going for a picnic tomorrow, and have chosen 2 others mums that feed their children healthy foods. this is because a lot of the tantrums has been over things like crisps, donuts, and chocolate bars, which although i don't mind him having from time to time, i do not what him eating everyday. the problems starts when a few of our group allow their children to eat basically crap all day long.. often letting them have up to 4 packets of crisps a day. this over and above what is a healthy amount and i don't want tom to have a bad diet as he is small for his age as it is.
The only problem is now that i have to avoid eating with these people and as i do like the mums and their children but i don't agree with what they feed their children, i am finding it hard to come up with excuses but not wanting to hurt their feelings.
aah being a mum is so complicated sometimes!

Ellen has been an angel again this week, shes asserting herself a bit more now shouting to get our attention and stuff!

well more next time!
