So THIS is where I should have put my thread
I just posted this in GD
today I asked for 10 minutes of alone time in my room to watch a few minutes of tv while the baby slept and her and her sister painted, I set up all the paint stuff (which she loves to paint) and she did it for about 5min then came in my room and started rolling around near me, on me, etc, I asked her nicely to give me 5 minutes to relax, I honestly dont think this is unreasonable to me to ask, so she doesnt leave, I tell her in a calm tone to play in the living room or to paint, again she doesnt leave
well thats how it started, she went off, then I tell her if she keeps it up she is going in time out, ok she keeps it up, time out, screaming kicking flipping out, tell her to stop or the toy she got at preschool is getting put away for the day, keeps screaming, toy up on shelf, flipping out over toy, time out over, she tells me she hates me, back in time out, flip out, now in time out in room, kicking door, banging wall, wake up baby, throwing books in room, tearing sheets off bed, I go in tell her she needs 4 minutes of quiet time then she can get out, set timer, she throws timer at wall and screams in my face, etc etc etc, I want to throw her against a wall, never would but really want to, start to cry call DH he says he doenst know why she pushes me so much (this has been for about 9 months now several times a week)
she has always had a temper I remember at her 18month check up asking the doctor if there was terrible 18months before terrible 2's, she will be 5 in Jan and it just gets worse
she fights w/her sister constantly, is wonderful w/ baby and is an angel at preschool
when she is sweet she is THE sweetest girl you could ever meet, when she is mad/angry/being naughty its like the devil worked its way into my child
I could have taken bits and pieces of SO MANY of the responses here, and YES is it good to see we are not alone
I do wish there were more answers, maybe we can figure out some together,
OR on the days we have good days post our observations about the day??
Make this an ongoing thread like a PP suggested??
I RIGHT there with you all, lets figure this out!
WE ARE GOOD MOTHERS WHO LOVE OUR KIDS!!!!!!!!
