Feeling like a terrible mum, dd6 has been very cheeky recently, very stroppy, throwing tantrums at absolutley everything! Confiscated her tablet today.
Tonight I said let's paint nails and watch a film etc, her nails needed cut, she had a little sharp bit on one of her toenails, I said let me cut this first, she went absolutley mental, started screaming and kicking me telling me I wasn't touching it. I told her it wasn't going to hurt and if it did I would stop, she continued kicking me (baring in mind I hadn't even touched it yet, and she also has absolutley no fear of getting her nails cut or anything) I then got the small edge of the nail off and she hadn't even felt it.
I have sent her to her room. She says sorry and hugs me and I feel bad that I am punishing her, anytime anything doesn't go her way, she tantrums and moans and goes on and on. I feel exhausted with it all, feel like I have a bit of a short fuse with her and am snapping at her (I obviously mean moaning etc, no hitting or anything of course!)
Aibu to be feeling like a totally shitty mum? That I feel I have no patience? I don't want her to turn out like a spoiled little brat, but at the moment that's how she's acting. Really need to nip it in the bud just now.
