I am currently facing a big issue with my #2. She is an extremely whiny, screamy and crabby child. At 6years 5 months, she cries, screams and throws tantrums every single day. She is late for school everyday as she has trouble waking up, drinking her milk, washing herself up and dressing up. When told to do homework or anything academic, she will switch from smart mode to dense mode. Though she attends Mandarin tuition together with Alycia, she is a far cry from her che che in terms of words recognition and attitude towards her school work. She argues with me everyday as she will not take instructions from me. She fights with the maid non-stop the whole day, with her stomping her feet in anger. The maid is partly to be blamed too. Both of them are like cats and dogs put together.
I give her a pair of fork and spoon for lunch, she will change it to chopsticks. I give her chopsticks, she changes it back to fork an spoon. I give her a bowl, she will change it to a plate and vice versa. She asks me to choose a dress for her and I do, but she will whine and say she does not like it. Ask her to do homework, she will come up with 1001 excuses to evade doing her homework. When I set Math questions for her, she will copy the answers (though I had reprimanded her countless times that it is a big offense to copy). She will also rebel and switch to another book and do questions meant for younger kids. Wherever she goes, I have to pull my hair and my blood pressure shoots sky high as I will be nagging her non-stop to hurry up to prepare herself. She has no sense of urgency.
Our relationship is becoming from bad to worse each day and I want to salvage it before this girl becomes wayward. I hate to have a resentment towards her and I don’t want her to resent me too. I don’t want her to be a missing teenager, with her picture in the newspapers 8 years down the road. I am trying my best to be nice to her but her disobedience annoys me to the pit of my guts every single day. I used to dot on her so much when she was a toddler.
I’ve just had a major melt down with her. I told her to do Math subtraction but she told me that she did not know how to do. Those are simple equations that I have been teaching her since last year. I tried to remain patient and cool and explained to her more than 10x again but she told me that she still did not know how to do. She knew how to do them before. Suddenly, she did not even know how to do simple subtraction meant for 5-6 yo. I feel like she is deliberately trying to piss me off. I gave her a good whipping. Oh God, what am I going to do with her? If only there was a Nanny 911 here that I can hire to help me tame this girl. She is like an uncontrollable puppy seriously in need of training and discipline. I really don’t know how to manage her. HELP!!!
