I offically have thrown in the towel. Terrible Twos. Enough said. My daughter is next to a saint for everyone else, including her dad...but for SOME Reason, she feels like when i come home, excited to see her she must officially turn into a raging monster who hates me. She WILL.NOT.LISTEN and for some reason, my immature mother mind thinks that yelling will do the trick, NOPE! NO matter how much or how loud I yell, I just sound like a woman on drugs and not a loving nurturing mother and vaughn's ears never ever hear me. Its insane. I have cried all night. She has hit, bitten, thrown things, colored on the hardwood floors with permanent marker, painted on the walls (where she finds these things i have NO CLUE) she has ripped a book, torn pictures off of her walls, put things in her mouth that dont belong and told me twice she doesnt love me anymore. I have threatened her, put her in time out, attempted to put her to bed, i have hugged her, loved on her and prayed....nothing works. I just sit and cry when she's like this. I know she is testing me and its working. I am beside myself. My sister and her kiddos were going to stop over today to bring V a may basket. I had to call and tell them not to come because i didnt want her to feel like her behavior was being rewarded by visitors and a treat. I would have loved for them to stop over.
I am beside myself. Rudy insists that i dont do anything different than him but that she does.not.behave this way around him and i know she doesnt at her sitters or my moms. Its just me. I walk in the room and she thinks all rules are out the window, which is strange since I am the rule enforcer of the household. I dont get it. If you have ANY Advice, pass it my way. I am about to invest in childsized handcuffs. (i kid....no i dont....yes i do.....:)
At my wits end, one grouchy mama
