The House of Tiny Tearaways
Family Ten: Behaviour
听
Alan (54), Julie (38) and Ellie (two) from Rochdale
听
Ellie is very spoilt; she will kick off if rushed or
asked to do something she doesn't want to and whenever she doesn't get
her own way or is told no.
听
She is difficult at mealtimes, bedtimes and when she's
getting dressed. At these key points in the day she will kick up a major
fuss. This ends in shouting, kicking and tears.
听
Ellie has no fixed routine for eating or sleeping and
Alan and Julie are finding it very hard to implement one.
听
They both hate the idea of upsetting Ellie, so they
cater to her every whim for the sake of a quiet life.
听
There is a 16-year age gap between Alan and Julie and
although Alan has a grownup family, Ellie is Julie's first child.
听
Alan is a long-distance lorry driver so is away a lot
and Julie is a dinner lady. Julie finds that Alan does very little in
the way of bringing up Ellie and she's finding it hard to manage alone.
听
Alan sings in pubs, loves karaoke and used to travel
the UK in a comedy duo with his nephew.
