I know the other day that I posted on one of the questions that my 2 yr old knew better not to hit or yell at her me or her dad. But I have an issue that's pushing me over the edge and I don't know what to do about it. Food! She'll grab something out of the fridge and act like she's going to eat it and the next thing I know, it's in one of my pots and pans barely eaten. When she was with her babysitter, she got whatever she wanted. Now that we're only taking in so much money because of one income we are limited on food items that we can buy. So, now she thinks that since she can't get what she wants, so doesn't have to eat. Her next issue is sleep. Ok I know, she's 2.5 and her naps have become limited. But what about at night? We put her to bed at 830. She doesn't actually go to sleep if she sleeps at all until 9 or 10. Then she wakes up at 6 in the morning, she use to sleep til 7. Then she's cranky the whole day because she can't get what she wants.
We had this other issue resolved and taken care of before I started to work, but when I was working, I didn't have any time to put her in her place. Now she started beating on the cats and the dog again and won't listen to us when we tell her no. She took one of my decorations that I had and broke it so she could hit the cat with it. I took it away from her but she continues to go after them with other stuff.
I knew that I would have trouble with boy (which we're having on Feb 9), but never thought I'd be dealing with these issues with a girl.
I'm not working now
 
If you have no time for your child and you are not consequent, you will create little devils. Spend more time with them, get a good book on parenting and maybe get help if you can't manage.
 
the fridge is easy fixed go and buy some velcro attach it to the fridge at a height that she cannot reach, now the pots and pans leave her have acces to a cupboard, that's just play, have you wormed her recently, also take into account she may not understand about the new baby but is possibly sensing changes are coming, take more time with her and just play and hug her, let her know her place is still secure in your heart, best of luck
 
maybe she's trying to get your attention...kids don't care if its good attention or bad attention as long as their getting it,that's all that matters.
it could be cause you being away at work (when you worked).Or cause the new baby that's coming.(she may feel left out or unloved)
Just have a talk w/her let her know that you love her,and she will always be mommies girl. Also tell her that the way is has been acting hurts you. I think you should try that,and if that doesn't work i would call a Physiologist. Or just talk to your daughter's doctor
 
be consistent , this will take time and drive you crazy but she is now learning a different lifestyle and needs to get use to it.
give time outs and take toys away from her. she'll learn.
and boy's are fine my son was so unbelievable he was an easy child and still is at 12 yrs .
