This is really just a vent, so apologies in advance!

Dd is having a brain spurt, which seems to happen 4 or 5 times a year and each time, for the duration of the development my normally funny, easy going daughter turns in to another child. NOTHING can go right for dd (as far as she's concerned). She can't find books she likes, in a house full of things to do there is nothing she wants to do, she gets mouthy, her friends irritate her, she flings herself across the room at the remotest error or if she doesn't win a game, any suggestion dh or I make is wrong, wrong, wrong. This will last for 2 or 3 weeks. And once it's done I'll have to relearn where she's at and how she works all over again. She's only just about to turn 6. I'm not looking forward to 14. Sigh...
