So my lovely 4 year old dd mutated yesterday into some god awful moster intent on driving me to dispair. I felt completely out of control and I would say she had me on the verge of tears on two seperate occassions. I had to ask dd to take her out of my sight a few times and smoked 4 cigrettes, just to be in the garden and out the way for a few minutes... it was awful.
How do other people handle kids that are playing up? normally a time out or equivelent works but yesterday was like nothing I've ever had to deal with before.
