Really struggling with discipline and frequently end up shouting as a consequence I never start off shouting but my DD really winds me up. I feel like a banshee.
If she doesn't listen or do as she's told then gets two warnings, then will get the naughty step for 3mins. I always follow through and if she talks or anything (which is every time) then I add another minute on. She doesn't kick off though she just acts like it's not a punishment and carrys on trying to talk/sing/bang things on the wall so the neighbours hear until I have to pay attention to stop the behaviour.
If I send to her room she will scream "oww oww that hurts" at the top of her voice so everyone can hear Even though I haven't touched her. I was beaten as a child so it really upsets me.
And she will leave her room every few minutes to say sorry, because she thinks once you say sorry you don't have to be punished anymore. Even though I've never "let her off" with a punishment. I'm at my wits end. Saying "Im so sorry mammy I love you so much" but with a wicked look on her face and I know she doesn't mean it is what winds me up the most.
I think these are things picked up from her grandparents she sleeps there 2 nights during the week as her dad lives with them and is worse when she gets back, but they don't like me and won't change how they do things
