Ok DD2 is being a nightmare and I need help. She is 8 (almost 9) and has always thrown terrible tantrums but can then go for weeks without one.
The past few days have been a challenge she is waking up at 5am and no matter what I do to keep her in bed or take her down she wakes her siblings up.
This morning she woke up at 5 and we didn't realise she then woke her sister up asking her if she wanted to talk of course she said no so DD2 slapped her .
We then had a morning of tantrums,half asleep parents sniping at each other DD2 running riot she grabbed her inhaler off me and sprayed it in DD4'S face and hit her elder sister and picked up the baby which made her cry.
Then the other DD'S got in trouble because they started fighting back and it was all one massive nightmare.
She knows she is not allowed in her siblings rooms if they are asleep.
She knows hitting is wrong.
She knows she can talk if anything is wrong or worrying her and I am pretty sure nothing is.
She gets plenty of time and attention.
I honestly feel stressed about tonight and tomorrow she is so defiant and rude to me I don't know how to control her.
And of course she will fall asleep about 7pm because she is so knackered from waking up at 5am. [help]!
