Oh my God. I always thought that the ultimate fighting force would be a few thousand women either PMS-ing or perimenopausal. But...a brigade of grumpy 4 year olds. Wow.
Pack her up and ship her to Aunt Caille for a few weeks, Estepheia. I'll try not to send her back speaking German with a California accent.

It often makes me wonder why they are not used in tactical assaults. Quick, get that idea patented. I fled last night, deserting the family troops in a hurry to go to see two movies. But boy, was I stressed. She really was very naughty and clingy.... But you made me laugh, and that always helps. Thanks.
My two were little shits last night, purely because their dad wasn't here. They repeatedly refused to go to bed and when they finally did, they wouldn't quit shouting to each other. I lost count the amount of trips to the bathroom etc they had.
Try advertising on ebay ;o) Hubby listed me on there once. Hmph.
Hubby listed me on there once. You're kidding? Good lord. Anyway, you made me laugh at a time when laughing was the last line of defense. Thanks. Today I don't feel like selling her because hubby let me sleep in and herded them off to school and kindergarten on his own - and quietly.
It's so nice to be speaking from the other side of things. I do remember when my kids were 4 years old. They are now 21 and 24 1/2. (Note that they made it past the 4 year old stage)
Selling them doesn't work nor does giving them away. They always come back, like the proverbial cat.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS and may the next few hours be better for you and the little one
Selling them doesn't work nor does giving them away. They always come back, like the proverbial cat. I gave mine away for the afternoon and had a really nice day today. But I'm majorly glad I got them back. :-) The little one was cute like a sugar plum today. She promised to be good because she's worried Santa might not bring anything. She's making a genuine effort, which is saying something, because Toyah has a lot of inertia, she never goes out of her way for anyone unless *she* wants to. :-)
When mine were that age, I used to say that I'd thought about selling them to the gypsies, but had been unable to locate a band of gypsies against whom I held a sufficient grudge.

You're quite welcome. Glad to have helped.
And now I'm off to drop off my younger headache to Grandma's and take the other headache to see Return of the King. :o)
