This morning I suggested Elle go live with Grandma. Just until she is 4 and no longer psycho. In the last week she has had two gigantic fits. One that resulted in her getting so worked up she threw up chocolate ice cream all over my bed. I would like to note that we have white sheets. And then last night she refused to stay in bed. After an hour of pleading, bribing, consoling, and otherwise being completely manipulated my someone a third of my height, I finally said I was putting away her Little People (the current top rated toys in the house) until she could learn to go to bed without being a crazy person. This resulted in her tearing out of the room after me shrieking. And then she bit me.
It doesn't help that I am in a weakened state. I finally broke down and went to the doctor today after the cold that wouldn't quit. Turns out I have a sinus and ear infection. Last night's parenting nightmare ended in a grand finale of failure when Daddy decided to play the hero (or brat maker) and gave in to her demands by sitting next to her until she fell asleep. A monster has been created and I don't know how to fight it.
Oh yikes! I am not able to give advice here...but I do love you and feel for you.
