Hi ... I am new here ... I have a 3 year old who is doing great as far as health, development and socializing ... I on the other hand am not feeling Great i feel like I am slipping back into the way I felt when my daughter was 6 months old and I was diagnosed with PND ....

I recently had a huge argument with my mum cause she believes I am a bad Parent because I ignore my daughter when she through the worst tantrum ever screaming and crying.... if we have had 2 tantrums in the last 2 years that is alot but nothing like the last one and that is how I deal with her I ignore her, put on the naughty chair and then make it clear that that behaviour is not acceptable...

For this my mum ripped into me cause she would never have done that to me when I was a toddler .... Am I a bad mother for not tolerating tantrums like that .... I am feeling really bad ... my own mum does not think i am a good mum or even implied that I was having a negative impact on my daughter because I did not give in to her and comfort her at the time of the tantrum...

since this drama my little angel has turned in a monster ... back chatting and tossing things and just being rude ... what do I do? I have been separating her from everyone and putting her on the naughty chair ... what else can I do? I really do not have the energy for this battle ....
