Living with my mother in law has been fine, up until this past week or so.
My daughter is 3,and is at the age where she's into everything and at times is very hard to handle. She isnt always, theres times where she's loving and listens. Lately she's been very impatient,and it doesnt seem like yelling at her is helping things. Tonight my mother in law was making tea,and hannah wanted a few cookies.Mom had gotten them as a gift, and she told hannah to wait a minute and she'd give her a couple.hannah COULDNT wait,so she went to get some and half of the box fell on the floor.My mother in law screamed at the top of her lungs, " You just couldnt wait could you!?!!". Hannah went off running,crying..I went to see what happened,and was going to help mom clean them up,when she took the rest of the box,and threw it on the floor!.THAT pissed me off.She didnt have to take it that far,and i went and got hannah and shut my door/locked it. She came and told me that i didnt have to lock the door,and i told her that i thought she just took it too far,and i dont think yelling at hannah all the time is nessacary, because it's not helping or even working. I've noticed that sometimes talkign to her works, but what mom has to realize is she's still a kid,and learning. She yells at hannah MORE than I do,and im not going to stand for it any longer! IM her mother, and im not going to have my childs self esteem be shot down, but that doesnt mean, i dont scold her from time to time or send her to her room when she's done something really bad. This was merely an accident.She wants to do things on her own.My babys growing up,and i realize it, even though she's only 3. and i told mom,that it was an accident,and that im sure she didnt mean to do it . She's got to learn to CONTROL her temper. i DO and i used to have a bad temper,but i've learnt that it doesnt help the situation,and just makes me feel worse,than i already did.... I just hope we can still live with her,and not have to go through this ALL the time,because i WILL NOT sit and take it. :aburst:
