THanks for that Divvy!
Funny you mention the age thing, because yes DH is alot older (24 years) but he has an 8 year old sister (to the same mother...go figure) so in a way, I think DD sees him as a brother, as she is VERY close to his 8 year old sister (her aunty)!!!!!!!
He has started to help her with breakfast, which has been good, as it gives her independence, but also lets him deal with her. I appreciate your advice though and might suggest he get her moving for bath time, or getting dressed etc!
I rang up about some counselling today, and am hopeful that is going to help. Just happens there was a drama at school today and one of the mums is saying DD lied about her son hitting her. Anyway, knowing her son is extremely violent, I am holding my tongue and will ask DD what happened. Sometimes I think parents are too involved with the whole school thing. Anyway, just another thing to add to the list . Driving me bloody crazy!!!!!! It seriously is depressing when you think your child is having problems. I am hoping the counselling is going to help me too, because I need to regain some sanity!!!!!!!!
PS thank you Shannon as well xo
