One of difficult child's friends is staying with us for a week as her house is being renovated. She arrived Tuesday and since then difficult child's behaviour has been so much better. The night-time rituals have gone out the window and she is actually waking up in a good mood. Although she is still defiant with me, she is not half as bad as she normally is. She is also having breakfast in the morning (which she normally refuses to do) and she actually brushed her hair and washed her hands and face this morning (major big deal!). Generally, I notice that she is a bit happier in herself. Could it be that difficult child just despises being an only child? I come from a family of five children and I can't imagine what it must be like for her to be an only child as I adored having my siblings to play with. I wonder if there there such a thing as Only Child Syndrome?? lol??
I don't think I'm going to be laughing once difficult child's friend goes though and anticipating huge behaviours as she adapts back into life without her around...
