Struggling with DS at the moment. I can feel myself turning into DM, who I know loves me dearly but my childhood memories are always of her shouting at me and being cross.
All recommendations welcome please.

OP I can sympathise, feel the same with my 7 year old as everything seems to descend into an argument or shouting to get her to listen. Following this thread as I also need help!
