[quote=Anonymous]Been through that but with younger kids- one technique could be to try to express a sense of humor about it, maybe lighten the mood a little? For example when my kids start telling me how I am the worst mommy and that they hate me- I pick up the phone and pretend to call the mommy store so they can return their mommy and get a new one. Changes the mood a bit. Or when they are whining for something over and over loudly and I already said no, I say I really love that song and that they are good singers, and then I sing their whining back to them in an over the top way, or I act like I am a conductor to their whining song and enjoying the concert. Changes the mood without giving in to them. Not saying that there may not be underlying issues to address, but try to see some humor in your daughters attitude- if anything it will help with your mood.[/quote]
