According to Kiko, an insect is a car, and a ship is a car, and a train is a ta-ta that goes “brrrmm-brrmmm”. And of course everything is “NO!” This pint-sized villain tries to boss me about! I have a feeling he takes after me in awkwardness but that gives me an advantage because I know how to deal with him!

I think the sky does look purple in certain weather. Sometimes it looks pale lilac on a snowy day. Maybe Daisy is going to be an artist? I’ve heard that while most people will look at a wall and see white, an artist will see a whole spectrum of colours. My brother is like that and – funnily enough – he always has to be right!

Writing as one who has met Boy Litlove, I have to say that he is the most precise child ever. He is like a pipe cleaner, almost, long and bendy and with a scientific compulsion for pedantry over artistic licence. He is also incredibly funny. I bet Daisy is, too.

Much better for her to see the world on her terms and articulate it as such…

Oh – I am dying to hear yours and Litlove’s podcasts but Monday is a bad day for me and I am zonked. Tomorrow evening I will treat myself and report back!

Oh man, don’t these little people just get annoying sometimes! My son HAS to be first. If we’re walking into the bathroom to brush teeth, he will push me out of the way. Now, we don’t accept that behavior because on more than one occasion he’s hurt himself or someone else banging around like that. But other things we just let slide, because it’s pick your battles or constantly be irritated.

I love the idea of role models from stories. Though I find it hard not to be too pedantic: “See, the little mouse is HELPING his sister!”

And I find it interesting for me that I can so easily contradict my children, sometimes quite rudely, when I would never speak to an adult like that. I think parents often need to be right because we need to feel like an authority. Or we need to feel like the child is listening to what we say.

Litlove and Tanya, sometimes I forget that I’m not the only parent out there. Thank GOODNESS other people are also experiencing the frustrations that come with trying to raise children.

Sometimes I think the people who irritate us the most are the ones who are reflecting our own less appealing characteristics back at us – Daisy’s need to right reflects my need to be right and THAT’S REALLY what I don’t like. My own little secret inner pedant.

I think it is just because mummy and I mean ALL mummies have to be right! We know, we have had the experience before or at least read about it… so therefore we DO KNOW! My problem is that in the end , going back and forth, I am the one who is reduced to having a 3 year olds behaviour and quite frankly I should take myself off to the naughty stairs!
While Aimee is not the middle child, I am just purely convinced she was born pre-menstural!! This week she has had soot all over her backside ( on 3 occassions that I saw) and in the end we discovered the reason… she decided that it was far nicer and more logical to go and have a wee in our fireplace… when I freaked out at her she just looked me in the eye and stated that she actually just needed to go! End of story! We have 3 toilets in the house… but the fireplace it was… and dear husband had to cope with a sobbing 35 year old mummy who had lost to a 3 year old! Charl I know Daisy can be defiant and strong willed just like Aimee, but you got to admit when we are in the right frame of mind, some of the things that they come up with are actually quite hilarious. My mum just says with a smile on her face… ” its pay back time!”

Oh you’ve described life with my son to me (and he’s an only child). He is a pedant with any number of ‘idees fixes’ that are not necessarily true and he is as stubborn as an ox. I like things to be accurate too, so I sometimes get very wound up inside, although I do try very hard not to say anything about it on the outside as it only offers him the pleasures of contradicting me further. But ooohhhhh for a punching bag sometimes!

Daisy sounds a bit like my first and only child. She strongly maintained against myself, her father and grandfather for about a month that the lions with manes were the Mummy lions. She backed down eventually when she was ready.

Sometimes its about pure contrariness and asserting her will but sometimes I think its her odd little sense of humour. She decided for example that coffee should be pronounced copee and she thought that was the funniest thing ever. “What’s in your cup, Mummy? No! not coffee, copee! Chortle, chortle” Sometimes its annoying but its also somewhat amusing. She and I give each other high fives when we say vitamin unlike my husband who says vItamin.
