I use distraction with Summer it works most of the time I have given her a few little taps on the hand tho, she lashes out at the girls a fair bit and has caused a few bad scratches so i try to show her that it hurts, she has bitten me a few times and she wasn't trying to hurt me i don't think but i lightly bit her to show her what it feels like.

Each to their own have to find what works for you and then after a while that won't work anymore and you will have to try something else and this goes on and on and on lol. With my older girls they get things taken off them or can't go on the computer or watch tv etc they are very good girls most of the time and i rarely have to punish them, I reward their good behaviour which makes them want to do good things all the time I even do this with Summer but it is not as easy as they don't understand the concept as much.

Well im much better this week I haven't been the best been up and down for so long hoping the good feeling stays a bit longer, i tell you its really really hard being a single mum and watching your ex having the time of his life and finally being the father I always wanted him to be and his family are treating me like i have some disease his sister changed her profile pic on fb to her and ex's gf hugging all dressed up at the races we were good friends and i used to speak to her all the time and now SMACK. Anyway just another thing that is making me stronger and I'm working hard to make myself better. Thanks all xoxo
