Uurrgh prob not the right thread but need to unload as to what a HORRIBLE day I had with the GDs today. They are usually lovely, but degenerating bc of GD1 becoming more "sensitive" bc of her condition (i.e. peers are noticing) and her sister being the most massive bolshy aggressive emotionally-free-range 18m old that ever existed.
I love them both for their own lovelinesses but today they decided to hide all that and just show me psychotic, neurotic, self-demanding and plain old mental.
BUT what narks me off the most is that after a day's back-ache martyred attempts at - not appeasing - but trying to deal with the utter orriblnss, I drop them home and they tell their parents they had lovely day at Grandma's.
Most days I would just say "Hah well think GD2 might be teething, GD1 seemed a bit tired" but today said "Don't think either had the happiest day of their joint lives (am obvs missing a lot of negative moments out here - but to be fair, a few comedy gold moments too"
And I get back "Yeh had terrible day at work myself (am strating to wonder if there's any other kind) but thought well yeh but at least you got paid for yours.
