Whining

We’re having major problems with whining at the moment.  I think all the stress of the last couple of months has caught up with the kids, and they’re taking it out on us with tantrums and tears.  On the upside my mum enjoys the speed with which Sam in particular can turn on the waterworks, and in turn he and Lauren don’t really like her.  That’s fair; she is rather scary until you’re used to her.
