DD1 is 3yo, DD2 is 6mo. DD1 often pushes boundaries at the moment; flatly refusing to do things when asked, ignoring when told to stop doing things, arguing over silly things (e.g. snacks, demanding more stories before bedtime). I'm tired most of the time due to being up several times a night with the baby and find it quite stressful just trying to get us all organised. I'm finding it really hard not to snap at DD2 when she's testing my patience, and I often end up shouting at her when she won't do as she's told. DH has commented a couple of times that I'm too quick to raise my voice or snap at her, and I know he's right but I can't seem to help it. What can I do to try and be more patient?
