Just got back from collecting DD (4) from her dad and gf. Was very excited to see her as she's been away a week and a half. I have done her bedroom up and got her pretty new covers and cushions for her bed and some new slippers. I told her about it in the car and her response was she hates red (it has red hearts and flowers) and she wanted pink. She then threw a fit and told me she hated me and then didn't speak the rest of the way home. Got home, she doesn't like the slippers. She wants to go to the park but we can't as I have to go food shopping. I compromise and say if we walk to tesco in town instead of driving to aldi she can go to the small park. No. She has a melt down, she doesn't live me any more, in fact she hates me. I tell her I love her to which she shouts 'don't say that' and then kicks the hell out of ds's jumperoo and then smacks me repeatedly on the arm. I naughty stepped her, got a sullen sorry and when I tried to hug her she pushed me away and stormed off to her bedroom. I'm sat downstairs crying unable to summon the energy to get us all ready to go to the supermarket.
Deep down I know it's hard to adjust from hiusehold to household, and I know that dad tends to do what she likes and so it's hard for her to accept that I've got household chores/her brother to sort out as well. But at the moment I'm struggling because I missed her so I have dissolved like a big baby. Oh slap me or hand me a tissue, either might work.
