Please please someone give me some advice.
Me and my daughter DO NOT get on. She is four years old, very naughty and cheeky and is in total adoration of her father.
When he is at work she is quite good for me but as soon as he is home she changes into a little demon, she is cheeky, calls me names and does everything that she knows she is not allowed to do. If I try talking to her in calm a rational voice she just stands and pulls faces at me so I find myself CONSTANTLY shouting. It got so bad earlier that I just put baby in the pushchair (hubby is incapable of looking after anyone but himself and can just manage a 4 year old) and went out for an hour to calm down, as soon as I walked through the door she looked as though she had been waiting for me and started again.
I really do not know what to do, I hate shouting at her but it is the only way I can get through to her and it breaks my heart when she cries. I find myself counting the minutes until she goes to bed and dreading it when she comes home from school or gets up in the morning.
