We are having a nightmare with April at the moment. She is continually (and I do mean continually) doing stuff she shouldn't. Half the time you know she know's that what she is doing is wrong because she starts giggling and trying it on even more. I know that at only 18 months her behaviour cannot be expected to be perfect but it really is starting to take the mick.

I am run ragged with chasing around the house, endlessly pulling her out of places she shouldn't be, or stopping her from pulling the cat around or climbing in the cat litter tray :( I feel like my whole day is spent saying "no, no, NO!!"

It's this sort of thing that makes school look ever more appealling for her BUT I don't want to do it. I want someone to say "hey, she WILL get better!". I want someone to tell me that if we send her to school her behaviour will get worse.

Trying to be a good wife and a good mum is SO hard when I have these constant struggles all the time. It's made worse by the fact that I don't (and have never had) these kind of problems with Rosie.

Oh, and April has started having toddler tantrums too. Fantastic.

Any advice ......anyone?
