I've about had it with my 4 year old! She has decided to be super picky today and complain about everything. The food, her clothes, shoes, EVERYTHING!!
How do you deal with days like this? I've about had it and I have a while until my DH gets home
I have no experience with that age yet---but what happens if you ask her "then what you do you want to do about it?"--kind of turning the table and let her "own" whatever it is--like choosing her own lunch (within reason), own clothes, etc. Again---just throwing out an idea--I don't know what you're dealing with but I know I will someday. LOL
When my SD gets a little crazy, I take a deep breath and remind myself that I love her. Yes, it's frustrating, but just waiting for Daddy to come home doesn't help anything. Let her complain, but don't respond by arguing back.
I never held you, but I always loved you.

Thanks! We give her the choice to pick everything but for some reason today she doesn't like it when she gets it and wants something else. It's getting really old!! Oh and we don't let DH deal with her, I just need his loving!! Tough day means I need him more!!
