The joys of a 5 year old little diva.




One day you'll wake up and your little angel will suddenly have developed this bad ass attitude. Out of know where you will have this stroppy little person that is a pro at answering back, can strop for Britain and sulk like there's no tomorrow. 

Here are some of the things that are normal with my 5 year old little diva.

* Everything is met with 'It's not fair'
* Nothing is done until at least the 4th time you've asked
* "Can I have" and "I want" in every shop is a must. Even shops that you think can't possibly have anything desirable for little girls, like B&Q! 
* "Lucy at school has one so I 'need' one" is typical.
* One Direction is necessary on every car journey 
* The television and the remote are under their full control. 
* Wearing your fairy dress to the Co-op is essential, no matter what the weather, and if she should decide to wear wellies too, then she will.
* They can now read everything, texts, public toilet walls and your women's magazines! 
* When you think its safe and they're not listening, your wrong! They're always listening and taking everything in! 
* They will then ask you about the thing you thought they weren't listening to, in front of your mother in law! 
* 'because I said so' is no longer a suitable response to a little lady of this age and you're often required to be more specific 
* Fall outs at school are major incidents and telling them to just play with someone else is not feasible.
* They have the best memories in the world. They don't forget anything, especially a promise! Especially if it involves staying up late. 
* They are way past the naughty step stage! Sending them to sulk on a step will only result in more stropping and even less corporation. 
* £1 pocket money is no longer sufficient! 
* They won't let you pretend they're 4 to get in places for free, because they're not 4, end of! 
* Aaron at school said it was true so its 100% the holy gospel truth! 
* What they want to do when their grown up changes every week! We have been a vet, fireman, nurse, one direction singer and a shop keeper but this week we are to become a teacher. 
* Frozen is real life, it actually happened. Olaf does exist.  
* They have no sense of time, if they want something done it has to be done at that very minute. There is no tomorrow or next week. 

But despite all of the above, they will have you in stitches, without even realising they're being funny. They will watch you and want to be just like you. Having a mini-me is the most amazing and precious thing in the world, there is never a dull moment and you'll never be alone, its like having a constant little shadow. For the time being there is absolutely nothing a massive kiss and a squeeze from mum can't cure.

  7. I can so identify with this-especially when you thought they weren't listening they really were and they seem to know instinctively when the worst time to ask you about this will be!
