Santa's not going to be very happy with Adam

Firstly Adam insisted on coming with me to Woollies to do the grocery shopping. Even though I said it would be boring.  

Five minutes after we got there, he said he was cold and asked how much longer I was going to take. He asked this a further five times in the next five minutes.

Another five minutes later he said he needed to pee URGENTLY. This even though I specifically TOLD him to make a wee before we left but he assured me that he had just done so. LIAR. We had to park the shopping cart, ask security to allow us into the staff section to use the staff loo.  Back again, continue with the shopping.  "Mom, how much longer are you going to take?

Then he made me buy him an advent calender.

When we got home he asked me to help him with something (open something that was sealed shut).  I told him it was impossible and so he tried to do it himself. It broke.  Which apparently was all my fault. I laughed.  Which apparently was VERY UGLY of me.  

He then threatened to to throw the advent calender at me. How very un-Yule'ish.  

I don't think Santa is going to be very happy with Adam this year.  In fact, Santa might just go pour herself a glass of wine and eat those advent chocolates herself.

PS looking SO forward to the looooooooooong school holidays coming up!  Can't wait!!

You sell them off to someone else for the school holidays, right? I mean, you don't like, HAVE THEM AROUND ALL THE TIME??? Right? Oh.God....

One of THE motherhood rules insists that you take a preschooler grocery shopping at least once every 3 months, just so you remember WHY you DON'T DO IT! No, seriously, the book is called "Moments when I cherish my mother - cos' she let me live!" Apparently it is number 2 on the best seller list right behind the other important rule book "He's just not into you..."
LOL Tertia, have another glass of wine...

If he laughed at you when you were frustrated, you'd be mad too. It is mean. You're the grown-up, you know better than he does what he can handle. Don't begrudge him his frustrations, and for heaven's sake, don't take him shopping. If he posted a photo of you in a bad moment to the internet, what would you have to say about it?

You get to have your moments too, but really, this is mean.

The laughing was unfortunate, the same way it'd be with any adult in a similar frustrating situation, but nobody's perfect and you were probably trying to relieve the growing stress for both of you. Tomorrow is another day.

I would try to find any reason to eat those chocolates myself :)

I bet you let him eat all the chocolates in 1 day.
