Thanks Meg - you have reminded me about the importance of explaining and reiterating expectations, especially to number one son!!! Somehow or other, I stopped doing this and maybe we need to go back to square one and start again!! I guess we hoped he would be getting too old to need all this reminding but his behaviours would indicate not!!! No major melt downs over the past few weeks but we have friends with kids staying with us for New Years .... we shall put some strategies in place over the next few days! Fingers crossed...
Thanks too to Anon2 - it is soooooooo good to hear that we are not the only parents around with such issues!! Again the talking will help a lot, and working out some strategies in case things go wrong and what he might do, how he could react etc. (We can't possibly cover every eventuality but we can try!!). Thanks again, it is heartening to read your stories and realise we are not alone in this!!!
