I'm not joking
Some of you may recall other threads I have mentioned about her.
When she is lovely she is extremely lovely, she's bright, talented but very jealous of her younger brother. She has a strong temper and he is very placid, he never moans, complains, he's a lovely boy the majority of the time. She provokes him and whispers things to him to get him in trouble. I try and praise good behaviour and ignore bad, therefore it would appear he gets more.
Tonight he was playing with his lego nicely and she came along and destoyed it, I told her off and consoled him. She told me how much she hated me and told me I should just be a servant. With this she then said that she wanted to live with Nanny & Grandad and proceeded to pack her bags and phone them, she packed everything even her favourite ornaments and calender, school uniform and even her lunch box, my mum spoke to me and said call her bluff and send her round and we will talk to her.
She's just gone and I really don't know how to handle it, should I let her go for the night or kick up a right fuss, I just don't know, incidentally she has never stayed there overnight, she has always tried, but then cried to come home.
I know I am probably to blame for this, but I'm not sure how to rectify it. She couldn't wait to go and said she may see me up at school some time whilst I am taking ds and how much she prefered nannys dog more than me, dh or ds.
I try to give her loads of attention and praise, sometimes she gets exactly what she wants (probably thats the cause) but if she acts in such a bad manner most of the time, how am I supposed to turn it around.
Don't slate me, I am genuinly asking for advice on how best I can handle this so it won't backfire in my face, of course I love her dearly, but her behaviour is really bad at times.
