Dd is four and I love her and would do anything for her but her behavioural problems are taking their toll on me. Every single day starts with her playing up - refusing to wear her clothes, not letting me brush her hair, not getting ready for preschool. She has friendships but I often witness her being horrible to other children and refusing to share. We often have to leave places because she's tantruming. Bedtime is a nightmare - I feel sick when it comes around because she messes about so much and gives me so much cheek I am brought to the brink of pulling my hair out. Now it's the summer holidays I am confiscating her toys regularly because she is hitting me and being abusive so it's not like she's getting away with it but I'm tired of all the battles and humiliation of her not doing as she's told especially in front of other people. I'm at my wits end, I just want to feel happy again but right now I wish I was dead. Please be kind, I can't talk to anyone I know about this because I'm too ashamed of my failure.
