Hello again.<BR/><BR/>Hmm, sounds like you're in trouble. I don't know what to suggest about your elder one, besides talking to them, to see why they are behaving in such a way. <BR/><BR/>OOh, other one, sounds tricky too, I have the same problem, M (nearly 4) is ok walking for like, two mins and then we hear 'I don't like it, I don't want to, I want the car...' that kind of thing. Can you not grit your teeth and percivere (spelling?). You know what I mean?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313560807695855956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3056146054627113746.post-20043623192448465822009-03-05T20:41:00.000+00:002009-03-05T20:41:00.000+00:00No.......hanging on is what you do with teenagers....No.......hanging on is what you do with teenagers.....to your sanity by the skin of your teeth.<BR/><BR/>My daughter, who reaches the advanced old age of 27 tomorrow, was umbilically attached to her buggy too when she was little.
