And it drives me potty. She says things like "why should I care?" "I said I didn't want one and you weren't allowed one so you went and got one anyway!" She's stomped around her room a few times, trashed her room and tbh I'm done reasoning with her. The only reason I can think of why she's being like this is cause I've just started a job which means I'm at home 3 full days a week. The other days are either morning or evening. I've explained I need to work in order to keep the house over our heads and food in our bellies. If I didn't work we wouldn't have anything. She agrees with that and settles then randomly it'll start again.

It may be reaction to change- I think 6 yo is a bit young to grasp the need to work tbh

I don't think it's unusual to be stroppy at that age - hopefully it will settle down
