Dd has always been a feisty little thing but at the moment she is impossible - with me! She goes to nursery 2 days a week and has been fine there. Her dad looked after her on sat when I visited a friend and she was fine then too. He even remarked how different she was when I was at home.

For the last two weeks with me the slightest thing sets off a tantrum and everything seems to annoy her. I'm trying not to resort to cbeebies too much but that keeps her entertained and quiet like nothing else. She is also being difficult at meal times, eating little and creating horrendous amounts of mess. She's never been good at feeding - milk or solids but at the moment it's awful - with me!!

What am I doing wrong? I try to ignore the tantrums and then give her a hug afterwards. I try to get her involved in things I'm doing by giving her tasks and I try to do as many 'fun' things for her out of the house as I can.

Feeling like a bad mum that can't control her child!
