[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will pass. Don't start yelling and slamming. She isn't trying to be contrary. She's years away from that. Get some help. [/quote]

+1. Honestly, OP, it sounds like you need some help with anger. Your baby sounds like a normal baby. On some level the poor kid knows she's driving you nuts and being rejected. [/quote]

+2  babies are tough, but almost everything is a phase. Everyone gets frustrated and has difficult days. It seems like you had 8 wonderful easy 8 months but now you really have to start working on patience. Turning your frustration into physical and verbal outbursts will only teach your DD that this is how to deal with frustration and stress. No one is perfect and nobody can be a perfect role model all the time (and trying to do this would probably make your DD believe in an unreasonable expectation of perfection). But slamming items... is this really what you want your DD to do to deal with conflict in the future? I know it sounds rediculous, but try just walking away, taking deep breaths and counting to ten. Then go back and engage your DD with a more even temperament [/quote]
