i have a 9yr old soon to be 10 next mth,a 4yr old, and preg. with #3. im not with the 2 oldest childrens dad. my question is this...i was 15 when i had my oldest daughter therefore i still lived with my parents. most of you know how that works, they think because you are young your not able to care for your child alone. because of this and living with my parents off and on for some time now my daughter doesnt want to live with me. i mean she knows how i feel about her and knows that i would take very well care of her. shes fine during the day but when its bed time she only wants to be at grannys.we've had alot of issues with her such as her attitude and my mother blames me, always telling me to take my kid before she throws her out.when i say that she was the one that caused this when she was a baby she throws a fit and says its not. i mean everytime i ever corrected her my mom would baby her and say its ok so she'd go back to what she was doing. now that she is so use to getting her way she doesnt care what anyone has to say yet i still get the blame. how can i get my little girl back and have her act like one?? theres nothing girly about her which is ok i guess but she wants to act like shes way older then she is yet at times is worse then my 4yr old. what am i suppose to do?? is anyone else or did anyone else go through this??? please help

hiya i had my oldest child at 17 and i still lived with my parents my daughter is now 4 and acts similar to how your daughter acts only obviously ure daughter is older and bound to shown more rebellious behaviour. My daughter loves to spend time with her nan and grandad and is good as gold when they are around her. However once ive got her home she screams blue murder an plays me up something cronic. The only explanation i thought of is she gets away with murder round there my father gives in to her every demand and moddy coddles her when she cries whereas at my house the rules are different if she throws a tantrum she gets ignored until she calms down and speaks to me nicely. I also stopped going round to my parents as often as i was i used to go every 2 days because of her demands which worsened when i had my second daughter. At her age perhaps you could talk to her find out whats so scary about being in your home of a night time, but dont lose the role of mum its very easy to be friends with children and then you lose control ive sen it happen plenty of times.

Did this start happening after you got pregnant. If so I think that she is just scared that she'll have to share you even more than she does now. In that case just help her understand that theres lot of love to give.
If it started happening before, its just because she can get her way. Even my 10 month old acts that way and I just ignore him. Eventhough he doesnt understand me, I try to explain to him the difference.
