Hi there
My DD is 2.5 and we’re going through a really hard phase. She is so clingy to me - literally won’t let me leave the room. But the biggest problem is her bevaiour. She says she wants everything. I can’t say anything in front of her without her saying she wants it. For example if I say I’m having a cuppa she screams that she wants one. If I say I’m going to put diesel in the car she demands she wants to do it etc etc. Around food she is the worst. Literally everything in her eye line she wants. You’d think I starve her! If I give things to her that she demands she doesn’t always want it so it’s not like she wanted it. She also needs Things done instantLy. If she says shes thirsty She literally screams the house down until I give her a drink. I’m exhausted - it’s so relentless and I’m miserable. She does nursery 2 mornings a week but I’m a SAHM (single) so we are very close but I feel like I’ve created a monster...I feel like I need to do something as she’s becoming so spoilt and not nice to be around. Find myself retreating as I’m so embarrassed by her bevahour - she comes across a spoilt brat

If it's any help my now 5.5 year old did this ...and now doesn't...and my now 2.5 year old is just starting it - she wanted my coffee earlier (I let her try she said she loved it 😂)... So if my two are anything to go by I reckon it's normal? I hope! My 5.5 year old I would say now wants about 1/2 of all stuff and wants to comment constantly on the 1/2 she doesn't want !! It's always something !
