My daughter would argue with a street lamp. She opposes everything I do & say: from the clothes she will wear to school in the morning to bed time. I have tried getting her cooperation in picking clothes out the night before, but still she finds something wrong with them in the morning... causing her to be late for school and me late for work. She is selfish beyond reason and has difficulty interacting with other children when they will not play her way. Spanking does not seem to do any good and in the am there is no time for "time out". Has anyone else found an answer for this type of problem? I believe that she has security issues (although she knows that I love her more than life) because she still sucks her thumb and has recently held on to her "silky" (satin blanket) more than usual. Her father loves her and gets her every other weekend, but he also has 2 other daughters and she is limited with what she can do at his house because her younger sister wants to do everything she does. She has slept with me since birth as her dad & I parted ways when she was 3 months old and we lived in a "not so safe" neighborhood. Now we live in a great subdivision (very safe) but with her room being upstairs, she is scared to go up there alone at night. Her dad makes her sleep in her own room upstairs (while his is down) with her 2 yr old sister, therefore she hates to stay overnight. I have recently found out that even though I thought she was being treated the same at his house, her step mom is showing favoritism. And typically, on his weekend, he has to work on Saturday, so my daughter (Chloe) is in her care most of the time. Does anyone have any suggestions to help Chloe & I have a better relationship and function without me going to the funny farm.
