I can relate to this unfortunately! Our 22 month old son goes to a childminder Monday to Wednesday and on Thursday he behaves appallingly for most of the day, usually perking up later in the afternoon. I think it is a combination of tiredness from his busy three days and also letting it all out knowing i'm his mum and he can get away with it! I also wonder if he's trying to make me feel bad but i think it's unlikely he is that manipulative (tho i sometimes wonder?!!) I think they like to make things hard for us when we leave them in childcare, even though they enjoy it when they're there despite themselves. Generally fierce tantrums are a feature of life at the moment, triggered by something as small as putting milk on his cheerios when he wanted to eat them dry...the poor love!;-)
