In the last month DD has change from being good fun getting dress to suddenly being completely impossible. At the moment when we have to get dress I am telling her that it is time to get dress so I prepare her clothes and mine and we go to clean our teeth and face which she loves. Then I try to dress her and as it is impossible I get dressed myself and then I try again with no much luck. Then it is when I tell her that if she does not want to get dress it is fine but that I am going downstair to do other things which I do. Once I leave the bedroom she start shouting my name and crying. Once she has calmed down a bit I go upstair again and try to dress her. We can spend like this at least 40 minutes till at the end she realises that she needs to get dressed and she agreeses to it.
It is a very long fight of wills at the moment. I am a SAHM so the time problem is not the issue. If I need to leave the house early for any reason I always take all this fight into consideration so I am not late to whereever I need to go but what I am getting tired of is of this situation. It just to be lovely to get dress together. What has changed now?
Anyone there in a similar situation that has found a remedi to stop this? or any advice that anyone can give me to manage he situation in a different way please
