Ohh hun, sending loads of hugs, I dont have much to offer in way of help, unless maybe you devise a new system that you can stick on the wall or something and give her a gold star everytime she listens, and then say to her that at the end of the week if she has done really well with being good she will get a reward, such as the money your DH is giving her at night, but only at the end of the week.
When my kids are naughty at the shops, I tell them before hand, when we get to the shops if you are naughty we will go straight back home. I have had to do that with my DS1 when he was little and just walked back out of the shopping centre and back home.
Not sure if will be of any help, but goodluck anyway on finding a solution that works. hugs
Miss 3.5 - drives me bonkers here. I still have no idea why people call them the terrible twos as it seems like everything since then has been very challenging. I have tried to keep things focused on the positives and try to expect her to behave as I wish - so moving on pretty briskly with a simple 'Let's go' -however it is virtually impossible some days!
You sound like you are doing a fab job - it can seem like it is a relentless and often thankless task. Take care. xxx
Just wait until they become teenagers. I am continuously banging my head over here with mine. Its funny they seem to go through stages. As for the terrible twos, it seemed to happen after the age of two for me and my 4, but the good news is it gets better, as I said until they hit teenage hood, then it feels like your back at square one.
