Well we knew that additives affected daughter #1, but boy! What a terrible day! Today yesterday's party, she has been argumentative, shouty and screamy. She has refused to co-operative and has had several time-outs when she normally doesn't need any! She has deliberately wee-ed on the carpet three times! And she has not been herself at all. Normally pretty articulate, she has gestured and grunted her way through the day. Around 5.30pm she started to 'come out of it'. She still isn't back to normal yet. I am hoping like crazy that she has them out of her system but tomorrow morning.
So the question is - is it worth it? After a day like today, if it is the additives then I would definitely say no. But then how do you persuade a three year old that they can't eat the party food? The only thing I can think of is that you stuff them full of food before the party. Any ideas gratefully received.
Just how long do additives take to clear through the body?
