I hate that we can't just do fun things on a whim and I SHOULD know better than to try, but I "surprised" S by taking him swimming this afternoon, which he was THRILLED by, but we got home, had dinner, and got him in the bath and he lost it.
He was mad in the tub (not sure why) and started throwing things at me, said "woman, leave me alone" (giggled a little in my head but grrr, where do kids learn these things) so I made him get out of the tub. I started to dry him off and he's still mad (because of having to get out) and he spit at me!
I mostly kept my cool, obviously somewhat ****** off but no yelling (which is a big accomplishment after being spit at, in my opinion), made him dry off and go to bed, he's crying screaming, etc. He got into bed calmly after getting PJs on and asked for his blanket and he was asleep with in minutes but
Makes me just want to stay home forever.
