she just screams and strops from getting up in the morning until going to bed. Seriously, I feel like we just argue permanently, and she ties up all my energy, attention and resources. Dd2 (5) and ds (3) are just lovely and dd1 is a whingeing, shouting bundle of anger.
I don't know where I go wrong - I'm quite patient, I try to be cheerful and have a fresh start every day/afternoon, but it's usually already on the way back to the car from the school gate that the first strop starts.
She's always been a difficult child from the moment she was born but it's getting beyond the pale now. She dominates the family with her horrible moodiness and I don't know where to turn.
Of course, at school she's fine, v. able and a lovely child.
