It was 2am and we were awoken by screaming...

[XTC]

... coming from my daughter's room. We have a loft conversion, so I had to race downstairs. I thought she was being murdered or something.

So I dashed in and asked what was wrong. she replied "I want to take my slippers off" - she had gone to bed wearing them.

2 months ago we got the same thing - she wanted tissues to blow her nose and couldn't just go into the bathroom for some reason.

It took me 2 hours to go back to sleep. And I get up at 5:30 so I can get home to spend some time with them.

I cant be cross with her as if she really does need help or is ill I want her to scream. She was 5 last week.

Kids are not all joy and delight...

Get her to call me in 11 years.
