Whinge! whinge! whine! whine! all day. Mixed with boss, boss, boss. Finally, "no, I won't!" when told to pick up her toys, play in her room, etc. V. rude to me & dh, tormenting dd (19 mos) & generally driving us all round the twist. I sent dd to her room (again), she refused to go (again), she screamed at me, had a temper tantrum, etc. So I marched in there & smacked her several times on her jean-covered bottom. Furious with her! Angry with myself for not being able to control my temper. How can a 4 almost 5 yr old behave like a child ten years older? Now ds has decided to have a temper tantrum, too. Dh dealing with it but sometimes weekends can seem so long...
