Upset at daughters words

I have a hole load of shit going on atm, stressed about work, money and other things in my life.

Oh a daily basis my daughter is telling me she doesn't like me, I'm a horrible mummy. Yes she's 3 and I know I shouldn't let it get to me so if any of the nasty asses want to have a bitchy comment, piss off elsewhere. I'm upset at this.

She only stops when she knows she's 100% upset me. I'm the one who does a damn thing for her and I'm the only one who gets treated this way. Himself just says 'well she's at that age'

Sat in floods of tears because of the way she's been with me just in the last 2 hours.

Wow I've called my daughter a lot worse things.

I don't really understand why you're planning a baby with such a supposedly useless twat though OP? You're clearly struggling to cope now, how is adding another baby into it going to help?

i really think parenting classes could help you.

Tell us some more about your partner and your joint plans to add to your family?

Glad you had a better day Smile
We all have those days, sometimes 10 mins in the park is enough to remind me why we do the whole kids lark!
She was probably just feeling bored and wanting any kind of reaction from you.
Was she ok at 2? Mine is almost 3 and just trying to whack a few 'terrible twos' in Hmm it's crap innit

I'm a surrogate mum. No plans to add to my family.

Most of the time she's an amazing little girl. Kind, caring, funny and very quick witted.

But she gets frustrated quickly due to her speech and language skills. Me and her are very close so when she does lash out, it's 99% of the time aimed at me.

We were out walking for 3 hours, quite impressed she walked so far (4miles) but see shattered, in bed snoring away at the moment!

I am glad you ended up having a nice day!
I think it easy to forget how damaging and scary it is for children being trapped in an unhappy, stressed environment .Your DD was communicating this to you loud and clear.Glad you took the hint and got out for some fun!

My 2yo started saying "go away" and "stop it" (in a nasty way) after he had been watching Jungle Book. Children can pick up unpleasant words and habbits from anywhere, not necessarily just the parents.

Even though, when you think about it rationally and take yourself out of that situation, you know they don't mean it but some times it does hurt, especially if you're not feeling great.

It's hard to tell if it's just a phase or like in my case they're reacting to something environmental (new younger sibling)

It will pass though and she does love you Chocolate

I was venting on here in private. I think the exact phrase ds is behaving like a knob not ds IS a knob.

There's quite a big difference between the two..thanks for explaining. It's not private by the way it's a public forum!
