DD is always a bit challenging but this weekend her behaviour has been totally appalling. She was clingy at a party we went to which is just about tolerable, though can't see what the reason for it was. She does the clingy thing very knowingly, not in a sad way though iyswim.
However went to see her friend this morning, usual play date, and all she did was argue with him, tell tales on him and try to take his toys off him. On arrival home, continued to be defiant, ignore everything me or dh asked of her. Tried distraction and didn't work. She has been having tantrums on and off all day - really bad ones. Has also been really cheeky. We went out for a walk and all got an ice cream but that wasn't enough for her, she ate hers and then wanted ours or another one and when refused she had yet another screaming fit.
We are both exhausted (DH and me). She slept in today so can't have been tired and she ate quite well so not hungry. I am 34 weeks pregnant and wondering if it is all getting too much for her now? Though she has known about it for weeks, with a mixed response,not sure why today of all days would trigger such attention seeking and dreadful behaviour.
I really lost it earlier and just shouted at her, then put her in her room to calm down while I calmed down. What do you do when there is just one tantrum after another and they don't listen to you????
