Is your 5 year old like mine?

[Emmielu]

Recently DD has been difficult. Won't go to bed on time resulting in her being grumpy the next day, sulking, screaming, everything is my fault, I hate you, kicking things to get my attention & in general unhappy being around me. Is your 5 yo like this? Am I doing something wrong?

Mine has never said she hates me but otherwise you have described her to a T

yes from around age 4 DS would shout that we were ruining his life, he hated us, and he was never ever going to give me a cuddle ever again (sometiems while sitting on my lap cuddling me because he was really really upset even though it was me he was upset with ...)

GateGipsy - Is this a pre warning of what they'll be like as teens do you think?
