My dd1 age 7.5 has been driving me mad recently. She doesn't listen, is gobby, defiant and bloody stubborn! She has been having tutoring twice a week and needed to do 15 mins work. This is absolutely necessary as very far behind. She refused. I tried to wait it out but three hours later.....
She is quite spoilt, doesn't have any chores or anything to do but still thinks she's the worst treated child in the universe. My mum passed away 5 months ago unexpectedly. Today would have been her 62nd birthday so we took my dad out. Dd1 was loud and gobby and embarrassing.
I have just thought I cannot take this anymore. I never get a break anymore as my mum and dad are the only ones I had. I have given my everything to help my Dd1 with the loss of her nanny but I don't think the behaviour is due to this. Just feel like a terrible person, mother. I can't cope with her anymore, I just resent the way she behaves and treats me like shit. Everybody like shit actually.
I have created a monster!
When she is feeling helpful and pleasant you couldn't meet a lovelier child but....
