DS (nearly 7) did his usual lack of co-operation about teeth cleaning tonight, to be honest this happens 4 or 5 nights out out of 7, he messes about, dances round, puts too much toothpaste on the brush, plays with toilet roll, anything to avoid brushing his teeth and string out the time.
Well tonight once he got started, he spat toothpaste in my face!!
I try to stay calm, but bl**dy hell it's hard. I sent him straight to bed, no story, no reading, told him I was disgusted with him, then said I don't think I'll go to sports day tomorrow, because I am soo upset with his behaviour.
Now of course I'm backed into a corner. I don't want school to think I don't care, I want to be there to cheer him on, but I've said this thing, in the heat of the moment.
What do I do now.
p.s. we're not helped by the fact that he's been up at 5:30 the last 2 mornings, so we're both fairly kn*ckered.
