She is currently screaming at me that she hates me, I am a stupid idiot (words that we never use) I have put so many teddies/dolls in the cupboard that it's bulging & she's still screaming. I only picked her up from school at 3 and it's been all out war since 20 past.
I resorted to smacking her bottom,even though it's pointless, teaches her nothing & upsets me that she drove me to that. She had already hit me several times before I cracked & I'm seething. I actually considered phoning Social Services to ask them what to do as she refuses to sit on naughty step, stay in her room or calm down. All of this was because she wanted a sweetie & I offered her one that wasn't out of the fridge, which was where she wanted it from. She's 5 & her behaviour has deteriorated since starting school, I'm not saying she was an angel previously but she was never like this & I really struggled not to smack her again. I'm sitting in here with the door shut trying to ignore the shouting & door-slamming, nursing a big bruise on my arm where she nipped me! At school she is an angel & quite clearly one of her teacher's favourites.
I know all the things I should have done but I hate seeing the lovely wee girl I could normally reason with turn into this little monster. All the while as I'm putting toys in the cupboard she's then shouting I'm sorry Mummy,still hitting me though.
I know this is long & everybody goes through it (probably more often than I do) so thanks for reading and wish me luck as I'm venturing out of the room. The noise has subsided so she's either fallen asleep from all the exertion or sitting colouring in/watching Nick Jr as if nothing had happened whilst I'm close to tears.
