Reporting live

Current situation at home...

KID
Completely screwed up sleep schedule in view of new school timings.
Onslaught of temper tantrums and defiance at age 4.5 .
Demands to be put back in playschool.
Fight for dominance of TV remote.
Vocabulary consists of one word ---"NO"

MOTHER
Half snot clogged, half fried brain.
Heavily resisting the urge to smack above kids bottom.
Is having nightmares about next days lunchbox menu.

FATHER
Missing in action most of the time.
Fight for dominance of TV remote(when awake at home- for exactly 120 minutes).
Is ready to murder some people at work.

In some ways that sounds very similar to my house, especially the father missing in action most of the time. Hang in there, it only gets better.

Nitya: Yeah!While i am ok with the part where he has enough time to wake up and all,afternoon naps are impossible, and he sleeps ONLY after dad comes home. So it gets completely out of hand. Phew!

MinM: Will do.

Cyn: Getting there..better now
