I lost it again this morning and screamed at dd.
She is just so surly all the time. She has always been difficult - terribly shy and prone to tears - but recently it's moved up to a new level.
After school yesterday I said I'd bought ice creams. "probably boring ice lollies" snarls dd. I ignore that, and said I'd also bought some cookies. "How big?" comes another snarl. I ignore that.
This morning I've made her a special packed lunch for a school trip. "I've made you salad nicoise!" I say brightly. Dd shrugs.
Then I went mad. It's all the time. Looking so miserable and making monosyllabic sneery comments.
Any advice?
