Struggling with 8 year old

[LemongrassLollipop]

I am really struggling with my 8 year old at the moment.

Unless I am screaming at her, she won't do what she needs to. It's becoming a battle of wills and I'm at my wits end.

I'm asking 3/4/5 times for things to be done.

She's also becoming very emotional, crying over things she never used to.

I am trying to keep calm but it's so hard. I feel so guilty that I am this way.

I'm recently separated so it's all on me. I'm carrying so much anger at the moment.

Just ranting really. I feel there's no one to hear me.

Aw OP! No advice but I want you to know you’re not alone. I have to repeat myself so much with my 7 yr old DS. My friend from mothers group who has a 7yr old DD also said that her DD had started getting emotional lately. Here’s to hoping it’s just a phase 🤞🏻

Agree, I noticed it starting last year. How has a short phase.
There's so much parenting advice when they are tiny, lie in one place all day and don't answer back.
I need the advice now!
