I am really struggling with dd1 at the moment. She used to be a happy, charming little girl and now she wakes up whinging, crying and moaning, goes to nursery (thank god) and when I pick her up she starts all over again. She ignores most of my requests and I end up physically moving her to toilet/house whatever. I used to say 'oh she's just tired' but she can't be tired ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I can't stand to look at her because her face is all contorted and covered in tears and snot and she is wailing like a banshee!
DD2 is so sunny and lovely and it's hard not to show how much more I enjoy her company sometimes. God, I'm awful but this isn't the child I want at all.

It's a phase! Mine was the same. She's 5 now and starting to come out of it. School kicks a lot of this shit in to touch,.

Yup!

Sweeping statement but I feel girls are worse for this, in general.
