DD1 (8) has just been horrid for months now and it's just getting worse.
I'm sure she's doing it just to get a reaction from me and I'm biting the bait.
For example. I picked her up from school today and she moaned because I told her she had to carry her ruck sack. As we walked up the road she kept nudging her DD2 (6) - ok so a bit of sibling rivalry.
Still walking along I told her she wasn't being very nice again and I told her that I didn't know if she was trying to get a reaction from me but I didn't like the way she was behaving. I told her I thought she was horrid. She answered me back by calling me an idiot and that she was going to hit me.
She wouldn't - she wouldn't get that far I can assure you!
She's always saying things are stupid, I ask her to do something to help and she answers "No!".
I'm just about holding it together at the moment but it's hard. I've hard to walk away so many times from her because I feel like slapping her so hard.
And people tell me it only gets worse.
