Just a rant really to get it off my chest rather than screaming at my poor daughter. :(

boy, do they make my child turn from a pleasant placid little thing into a screaming bad tempered monster!!

Luckily she on her last dose today so hopefully she'll be back soon!!

Thanks for listening as I know you'll understand where I'm coming from x
