my Dd is 2 3/4 and we have a 7 week old baby boy.
Dd is fine with the baby (if over enthusiastic sometimes!) but is really annoyed with me.
My little angel of a girl is pushing, hitting, throwing toys etc on floor and generally being v naughty. She defies me if I tell her off, and won't listen to me. She also says she doesn't love me, doesn't want me to change her nappy/pick her up etc etc
I understand that she craves attention and is doing this the only way she knows how, but how do I break this cycle????? I try to give her attention whenever I can, and on weekends spend some time with her on our own, but none of this seems to be helping.
After 7 weeks of this full on toddler assault I'm feeling very worn down, and really finding it hard when I'm on my own with her in the week. It's very hard when she is always in such a bad mood, it doesn't make anything go right.
any tips????
