This is my first post in Mumsnet but I have lurked for a long time and I am getting desperate re DD who is 4. DD is a VERY wilful child who is good 90% of the time but can be very hard work the other 10%.
At moment we are living with my parents (who are wonderful) whist we renovate a property. Life is great here, we all get along great but my daughter speaks to my mum especially, like she is vermin. I have tried disciplining her every way I can (bar smacking) but she doesn't seem to change. I think is is jealousy as DD is used to just myself and had total attention for 4 years as we lived miles away from family and now my mum is a threat to her as the attention has been taken from DD when mum is around.
Can anyone give any advice!? What can I do to try and stop it. This morning after hearing her call my mum stupid for the hundreth time, I threatened to smack her bottom, I was so annoyed at her, it came out. I have never ever ever smacked my DD (very anti-smacking) and never thought it would even come into my head but this did stop her in her tracks.
