Emma is generally reasonably well-behaved with us (given that she's a toddler with a burgeoning sense of personal identity.) And she's generally reasonably well-behaved with her daycare teachers. Put them, together, though, and apparently all bets are off. This, I discovered today on a field trip to Science World with Emma's daycare. After several hours of fun and discovery, the trip home was a nightmare. While all the other kids angelically held an adult's hand and crossed the road, and then sat patiently on the bus, I had an angry, screaming toddler who refused to hold hands, refused to sit still and wouldn't stop crying. Toddler tantrums are fun at the best of times. Having them happen in public is worse. Having them happen in front of your child's teachers and all the other kids is bordering on humiliating. Ho hum. I hate parenting with an audience.
