Hi i have a 2 year old daughter and i feel as though everyone hates me and her, my daughter is the perfect girl listens well and is generally well behaved for me, but when my brothers family comes around she acts out, hits and pulls her cousins hair, i have asked if they do come around can they tie her hair back just so she doesnt get hurt and they get really annoyed about that but when my daughter pulls her hair i always get moaned at to tell her to stop, i never shout at my daughter i dont think theres any point, i tend to use positive discipline which is fantastic! My problem is when my daughter does act out they all shout at her (theres 5 of them) the poor girl must be terrified, i have asked if they do give her into trouble not to shout and only tell her once, they dont seem to listen, they have also resorted to hitting her back. I lost it when i seen my sister in law smacking her twice, i slapped her which isnt the answer and i feel bad but i just saw red. So now im seen as the bad one i have apologised, they also tell my niece to hit my daughter back i do not agree with that at all, i feel like giving up what do i do now? Im currently saving up for a deposit on a house and i will be going back to work part time when shes in nursery as i cant afford the child care right now
