four year old monster and due to drop anyday now
hi,
ive got a four year old daughter and im 39 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. over the last couple of months libbys behaviour has totally changed. she has become an absolute nightmare. i know shes worried about the baby coming and i thought i had done everything right to prepare her for the arrival but now i dont know what to do. shes been involved with the pregnancy right from the start, ive always answered any questions shes had, ive made becoming a big sister exciting and a fun thing to look forward to. ive done everything ive read i should do and more yet i seem to have lost my child somewhere and gained this monster. she wont sleep at night, she shouts and screams at me and will not do anything i ask of her. she ignores me, stamps her feet and lashes out. i try talking to her, punishing her and nothing is working. its causing arguments between me and my partner and i am dreading having this baby now.
help please!:\(

I have no real advice, but to say you're not alone.
I've got a 4 year old daughter who's gone right back to the terrible two's.
My problem is her 2 year old brother follows everything she does.
She refuses to eat meals and then says she hungry, won't get dressed in the morning and even missed the start of pre-school because I couldn't get her to get dressed in time.
I'm 34 weeks pregnant now and am shattered.
Sorry to moan and take over your thread, but you're definatly not alone.

moan away hun, ive put mine on here as a moan.
libby does the eating and not getting dressed thing too, infact she does anything she can to start something. cant imagine having 2 of them doin it tho!
hope it gets better for u soon x
