Hi ladebear24

I have been using mumsnet for 3 or 4 months now and it's great, and available all the time for a chat!

I am 30, married and a teacher. I have one DD, aged 12 months. I live in Sheffield.

Welcome

Hi everyone! I am married to a wonderful man, we are childhood sweethearts. We have one daughter together-she's 2 1\2, but I have two stepsons. There ages are 7 and 6. I am 24 years old and Live in Maine. We have a small business. I am having some trouble with my daughter and I am desprate for help. If you can help me, please feel free to contact me by email:[email protected]. She is throwing temper tantrums and hitting me and she found a knife one day(granted it was a butter one, but it still scared me)and held it up to me and poked me. she hasn't done it since. She goes through spirts where she'll listen and then she won't. She is mainly great and I am at my wits end. I don't know where she is learning it and I don't believe in slapping her. The punishment is usually, time outs in her room, or no rides for the day. She won't potty train no matter what we do. She is my pride and joy and I am hopping its just the terrible two's. Please help me and tell me what I should do. She's a great girl and a bright one to. She ranks off the charts, maybe we aren't challenging her enoughh for her brain.

p.s. how do we chat? I am new at this and have no idea what to do.

Hi ladebear, welcome. To find a thread on a topic that interests you you could also go to the search board and run a search on, for instance, tantrums. I'm sure you'll find something of interest. Then you can post away!

Hi,
I am new to mumsnet have four sons aged from three to sixteen. No one prepares you for teenagers and I have two. My third son has ADHD and the three year old is at the tantrum stage. Isn't is great to be a mum! Plus I am turning forty next month, surely things can only go up from here.

Housty - your message may get a little lost in here.

You might get a better response if you started a new conversation (about teenagers, ADHD, tantrums turning 40 - whatever it is you fancy talking about). Just go into a topic and start a new conversation. Welcome to mumsnet!
