I have just completely lost it with my lovely magic little girl. She has been a total nightmare for the last few weeks and something snapped. I keep promising her I won't yell at her again but this time I couldn't figure out what to do. She won't come home from school if we don't have an appointment. Any time I forget to fix an appointment, she runs away and hides. She will stay for over an hour, long after all the other children have gone, if I don't pick her up and haul her off. When I do that, like today, she flings herself to the ground and screams that I am hurting her. For some reason today she took my front door keys and wouldn't let us into the house. In the morning, similar problem, she won't get out of bed for an hour or so, then takes 40 minutes to dress. I have taken her to school with no breakfast, late. Not waking her until five minutes to the late bell doesn't work, it takes her about two hours to get ready. The school teacher won't tell her off for being late, so my daughter doesn't believe that it really is very very naughty.
I can't find anyone to talk to right now and dreading tomorrow morning. Someone get me back to sanity.
