DD was pretty badly behaved this weekend but also managed to do her first proper poo in the loo.
We promised her a jessie doll and it should arrive today.
She was very naughty when I was at the dr yest, trying to get very hot baby sorted out, and began pinching, kicking and hitting me, climbing up to try to reach things she'd been asked not to touch etc. Doc was quite rightly, appalled/stunned. I was too worried about baby to deal with her and realise in retrospect that she was feeling very jealous of attn to baby, but at the time I was just very cross and embarrassed. once we left I told her how angry and sad I was and that there would be no jessie doll, that she needed a nap etc.
Don't know whether to give her the doll today. She did the poo late yest aft and it was on her own, so a great achievement! It's been a long time coming (we've been training her since xmas). I just feel that overall she is being naughty, shouting demands, and screaming and stamping/kicking when she doesn't get her own way etc. I spend all my time saying that x has made me very cross, that's not nice behaviour etc and it's exhausting. She also spends a lot of time imitating me which also incredibly depressing.
I don't know where to begin but it doesn't seem the right time to introduce an expensive and much desired gift!! Then again, it could be a peace offering and an opportunity to have a chat about being kind, listening etc.
I am thinking of starting a star chart if I do give it to her then we could talk about things she needs to do if she wants to keep it??
Thoughts??
