I really don’t know what is wrong with Sherilyn but she is really making me very pissed off with her. Several months before Baby C’s arrival, she started to be really willful, rebellious, disobedient and hard to handle. I am really lost for ways to handle her. She takes no instructions from me or my mil, not at all. Every single instruction to her from getting her to take her bath, to washing her hands, eat, drink, nap, sleep, pee, poo poo etc. is like a chore to her and we always have to end up in a power struggle…. with me threatening her with the cane and she ALWAYS ends up bawling and rolling on the floor, even till she puked at times. (ChumsyAshley saw Sher during the meltdown when she came to visit me last week)
My mum says this usually happens to the middle child. I think she is starting to feel jealous and neglected that I am spending a lot of time with Baby C but she does not appear to despise her little sister. In fact, she adores her little sister and keeps touching and kissing her.
Sher is really driving me bonkers and I’ve even come to the point where I just cannot tolerate her behavior and even starting to hate her. Can you beat it, I’m starting to hate my own daughter just because she’s jealous of her sister and wants mummy to love her and spend time with her like I used to. I just hope that this is just a phase that’s fleeting and that very soon, she will mellow down and transform into an angel, just like Alycia. I used to have that feeling towards Alycia too during her Terrible Twos stage where she used to throw horrible tantrums but over time, Alycia transformed and now, she’s such a joy to be with. She’s very independent, obedient and caring and does not irritate me anymore with her wimps and fancies. Last night before going to her mah mah’s bedroom to sleep, Alycia ran to me and said “mummy, I love you” and gave me a hug and kiss. I wish Sherilyn will be like that too in time to come. Otherwise, I will go cuckoo….. with a baby who’s seeking my teats for comfort round the clock and another crying and whining 3-year old toddler who is resisting every single instruction the whole day.
