8yr destroying brothers art and lying

[Lawmc40]

I need some advice please 🙏🏻 my DD destroyed her brothers art work and then lied repeatedly. She’s done this a few times now and I’m at the end of my tether ! We had planned on a park trip with friends today but I’ve cancelled because of her behaviour- what else can I do? I feel really sad - she used to be the sweetest little girl. Tia

Have you asked her why she did it?

Is ther something which could be upsetting her? My son went a bit bonkers in lockdown and started being really naughty but it was just because he was sad and wanted to get our attention. Once I started spending a bit more one on one time with him it sorted itself out.

I asked her why and she said she didn’t know why ?
she was dancing and singing to Disney songs just before she did it so I don’t think she’s upset about anything? They both get a lot of attention from me - dad is a farmer and in harvest now so I’m basically a single parent.
They both get on really well but maybe she was jealous but still what a funny thing to do ? Because she now has lost out on seeing friends?

How old is her brother? Why would she be jealous of him?

And please don't say you're basically a single parent because you're married to a farmer. It's offensive.

Why is that offensive?!!!?!

Because I'm a single mother. Every single decision, every single bill, every single responsibility is mine and mine alone.

Your husband working hard for a few weeks is in no way comparable.

Anyway - shall we get back to your daughter?

Charming

Do you do anything with / for her or does your life revolve around housework / little brother / husband when he isn’t farming? It probably is a cry for attention. Older farming kids often raise themselves during the holidays.

You really have no idea where your dd gets her behaviour and attitude from 😂

Lying is normal child behaviour.

Aww I missed your rude response! Imagine how I feel

I'll leave you to it then. Perhaps you'll get some input from married mothers.

Very clear to see where your daughters got it from isn't it! Single parent indeed 🙄🙄 and rude to strangers who are trying to help. What a lovely person you are

You haven't given enough information.

What did she say, how did she destroy it etc.

They both get on really well but maybe she was jealous but still what a funny thing to do ? Because she now has lost out on seeing friends?

But she didn't know that was going to happen.

Why might she have been jealous?

Did she know she wouldn't go to the park if she destroyed the art work?

Are you saying she was happily singing and dancing and then suddenly stopped a d destroyed the art work?

Where were you when all of this happened?
