Let your 3.5 year old crawl into bed with you in the mornings. Can you start work a tad later and sit down for breakfast together or read a book together in bed? Something that makes her feel like she got some special time with you? You can explain to her that you are making special time for her and that the deal is she then needs to let you have time to get work done. If you have a baby, your 3.5 year old just went through one big change and now this. I'd be gentle in how you approach the behavior issues. Good luck!
But remember that toddlers and tiaras red boilers focus on now, not later. So incorporate rules: mom can do this at this time, mom can’t do this at that time. Tell her she’s in charge of making sure you follow those rules.
