I feel like my dd hates me. I'm sat on my own crying right now because she's been so fucking awful and it's 7:05am.
Dd is 3 1/2 and can be difficult, on her own with her dad or granma or nursery she's fine but when I'm around she's really horrible to be around!
She is actively regressing her behaviour, talking and acting very babyish and saying she's a baby plus crying, screaming, hitting, kicking, biting at everything and anything. Even the simplest of tasks he's screaming and crying 'I can't do it, I can't do it' and I mean really simple, like 'can you stand up please?' and I'm talking 30-40 minutes of this ear splitting screaming with garbled babbles it whatever she's protesting. Nothing is right, the other night she had meltdowns because:
She wanted a drink
I have her the drink
She didn't want a bath
She wouldn't brush her teeth
She didn't want to get out of the bath
Wanted a story but not to pick one or tell me which one
I picked the wrong story
I feel awful for yelling at her but nothing else works! She's had thinking time, calm talks at her level, rewards, punishments.... I just don't know what to do anymore with her: in embarrassed to take her out anywhere because this is constant but the thought of being stuck in the house for the next 2 days is making me want to run away.
I feel like the worst mum in the world, I've done my best and my daughter is this horrible child that I can't do anything with and she hates me, it's always me.
Any advice? Experiences? Tried and tested toddler taming methods?
