My 4 year olds behaviour is absolutely wearing me out to the point of me crying most nights when she’s in bed.
She refuses to listen to me, she is constantly noisy with ridiculous noises just running round the house shouting. I take things away from her and she screams in my face but I remain consistent with it. She is constantly fighting for attention when I’m attending to her younger sister. Throughout the summer holidays her sister has been in nursery a couple of days a week so I’ve made sure we’ve had a ‘special mummy daughter day’ when it’s just us two but even some of those she had ruined with her behaviour whilst we’ve been out.
In the last year I have split up with her dad and moved into a new house, she seems to have taken it in her stride up to now but maybe this is what the problem is? I give her as much attention as I can but obviously my younger one also needs me and I’m finding it very difficult to split myself.
I feel like all I do is shout at her and lose my temper and I’m at my wits end with what to do.
Any ideas would be appreciated please because I feel like the worst mum in the world right now 😩
