A lot of things are going on in my life and I need to be really strong to carry on. Today, Ms Postive asked me to go with her to Heidelberg, but I had to work. Some time with Ms Positve would have been just what the doctor ordered, but I just had no time to spare.
Last week, Sunshine and I were invited to his friends's little farm. He was one little terror over there throwing things, being mean to his friend and even her mom, stubbornly refusing to do anything and everything I asked him to do. In sharp contrast, his friend was a sweet little angel, helping her mom to set the table and clean it later and she was extremely understanding towards Sunshine and tried to save his back all the time. I have been completely unable to figure out why Sunshine acts up at times. He can be really good too and can share and play with his friends. The caretakers at his daycare give me the feedback that he is a very well-adjusted kid always taking care of the younger ones and playing nicely with almost every kid. Why does he have to be little devil around me I wonder.
I do enjoy Sunshine's antics but sometimes it gets just too much for me. Especially when he is aggressive towards other kids. I feel so inadequate as a mother when he ignores numerous pleas to be nice. He is barely 3 and he already knows how to have his way when he is in that kind of mood. It usually ends up in us leaving the place and I feel bad for the other kid(s) and also for dragging him away from other kids. He really enjoys the company of other kids and always feels sad when he or they have to leave. I wonder what I can do to teach him to be a little gentler around his friends.
