I'd really appreciate some advice/views from more experienced parents please because this problem is causing family stress levels to shoot sky-high currently.
Honoria Glossop - would v. much appreciate your input too if you are about pls.
DD (4.5 yrs) only child - apple of our eye, is generally well-behaved but she does have quite a "determined" character and goes through patches when she's quite defiant and refuses to listen.
Dh swears that dd is well-behaved when she is alone with him. She is definitely well-behaved when alone with me (but when we are all together her behaviour really gets out of hand) and it is starting to spoil the rare bits of family time that we spend together.
Until recently, I just put this down to normal attention-seeking behaviour but I'm beginning to wonder if there's any other explanation. Dh is very laid-back and lenient in his parenting style. I'm quite strict. Do you think she's confused?
How do others handle this?
