If children still get their favourite treats and Shows, and toys when they're misbehaving then they're not gonna change their naughty behaviour, I'm obviously not saying to take all of them away as that is child cruelty in my book, but I would take away the one that would affect her the most so that she sorts her behaviour out.

Btw Vicky has Skye recovered from the Flu btw? As that could be upsetting her.

[Vicky.]

Yeah shes recovered now, but as I said, this has been going on long before she even got ill...so that could have been making it a bit worse but it wasn't the cause.

Night 1 of strict mummy went quite well...too well if I dare say that Mind she looked at me like I had just killed a puppy infront of her when I told her we were having none of the rubbish that we had been having and plopped her back into bed..but she didn't get back up again, flailed around silently for about 5 mind, then went to sleep. Come 3am she was up screeching, did the same thing and she went back off...

Its odd because this is what I was trying to do to start with and it wasn't working. I must be doing something different this time round or something..

[Niamh.]

that's great Vicky, maybe you sound more like you mean it or something? Kids are more tuned in then you'd think.

[Vicky.]

Well I did try to sound like my mum..for the first time ever

Only joking Vicky x
Kids are like little soldiers they love repetition, structure and routine.
My daughter was talking about this last weekend when she came home from uni, I went through a stage when she was 8ish of having set meals each day of the week...she LOVED that! went on about it for ages

Yeah that's so true, they really are much happier when they have a routine to follow. I know it's not nice having to firm with them sometimes but it's so much better for them to not end up upsetting themselves with all the crying and tantrum throwing. Plus you're doing them a disservice sending them out into the world like that, no one is going to want to have them over or anything

[Niamh.]

hahaha, you know my niece is 2 and she's spoiled rotten, gets her own way all the time or has a fit with my sister in law but anytime my mom babysits she's as good as gold, just because my mom doesn't let her get away with stuff

[Kizzy]

Yep and if you know it's not because she can't behave, if she's good for nana it's like HANG ON... I'm being played here!

[Niamh.]

yeah

[Mystic Mock]

How's it been going today Vicky?

[Vicky.]

Last night was ****ing terrible, I must have got like 10 mins sleep overall. But it seemed to be because the wind was making her window sound like a ghost So thats been fixed today.

She's so much better through the day now that shes sleeping better though, so the daytime issues were definitely caused by the nighttime ones...
