[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You mention multiple other children. How much 1:1 time does she get? Real, undistracted 1:1 quality time?[/quote]

At least 30mins-1 hr a day. I am a sahm. She is in morning preschool every day. [/quote]

If you feel this way you need to put her in full time care. That’s what I did. My son is exceptionally difficult. I adore him but it was hurting both of us having him home (I work 4 days a week). I started getting more alone time myself on my day off, working out and prepping for our family weekend together. His daycare provider loves him and he loves her. So I don’t feel guilty.

I feel like I was getting too stressed and he wasn’t enjoying himself. He’s actually behaving better now and I have more patience. I have older kids too. No shame in doing what you have to do to get by. [/quote]

Thanks for this. We are considering it but means more running around
For my DH who would then have to handle all drop offs and pickups. [/quote]

I wouldn’t do this. She’ll be in K next year - you are almost there! I think it will improve a lot then. My oldest was really tough at 4.5 and steadily improved when real school started. At 11 she’s still intense but delightful.[/quote]
