Did it get better and when? Dd is 4 and I just don’t know when it will end. Loads of people with children this age say they are difficult but this feels crazy. I have been hit every single day for the last 2 years, we call it a good day if this happens less than 5 times in a day. She won’t listen, screams when she doesn’t get her way, tantrums multiple times a day, disastrous bedtime routine every single day etc. If she was still 2 I wouldn’t bat an eyelid but it’s starting to feel like it will never end. Nursery say she’s an angel with them, Grandparents say she’s perfect for them. We have worked so hard since she was born we feed her well, keep her warm, loved, stimulated, read to, interesting activities, consistent routine. We are not perfect by any stretch but have given parenting our everything yet feel like total failures. She can be so sweet and lovely like earlier today when the car broke down and we had to wait for ages for the recovery vehicle she was good as gold. It’s just these good moments are surrounded by hours of awfulness. I’m not looking for advice as have done so much of that, asked so many questions and tried so much to improve things. I just want to know, if this was you, did it get better and when? How did you cope? I just want to raise a happy, healthy child.
