OMG I can feel my blood level reach that dangerous level. My darling 7 year old who answers to the name of William is driving me bloody mad this evening. He is doing absolutely nothing either his father or me are telling him. It is like he has the mind and attitude of a badly brought up teenager. Madness cos to everyone else it is a bloody angel just at home he is the devil child. He winds up his younger brother Kieran who is 2½ years old no end, admittedly Kieran also winds him up but please just now the two of them were in the bathroom and Kieran was trying to put the clothes in the washing bin down the loo and flush the chain, William was just laughing and trying to get the clothes back out, for christ sake child call either mummy or daddy to bloody well help. Then once in the front room he runs from one sofa to the other which obviously has Kieran in fits of laughter - don't think so my dear. So he has now been sent up to his room in floods of tears and meanwhile dear old young Kieran is busying throwing anything he can get his hands on around the bloody living room. Oh to have that magic wand and bloody well disappear for a couple of days!!! Thanks for the rant. Hugs

" Ok, get out a glass of wine and close the door on the madness!

My 7 year old is horrible too, he can even drive his older brother mad. He has a piercing voice that makes fingernails on chalkboards sound like YoYo Ma on the cello, and a flair for drama that rivals any soap opera plot. At times like this I say to no one in particular, "I see that whinybaby has possessed him! Out with whinybaby!" Then we proceed to ignore anything he says until William, to use your son's name, comes back. We try all kinds of exorcist rituals, such as tickling, laying on of hands, etc.... We refuse to accept Whinybaby because we really want our own little one back. Finally he gives in and comes back. "
