[QUOTE="Jungleland, post: 162606, member: 4598"] Chris, I don't! I moved out! But that was after Aly broke my arm when I got in the way of her rage. We went round and round and round on that rollercoaster of walking on eggshells just so we wouldn't trigger a rage. But, with Aly, we never could figure out exactly what her triggers are, except for the word NO or a change in plans or a change in what she THOUGHT were the plans, etc. Supernanny is awesome, I just love her, but when it comes to true difficult child's like our kiddos, I think she would head for the hills in a heartbeat. We have tried schedules, calendars, reward charts, trips to the Dollar Store for good behavior...none of it works long term. I just get too exhausted of dealing with all of it and we do have a 4 yo we are trying to raise as well. I get what you mean about raising the older 2, and things were never like this! I would look at them with a stern look when they misbehaved and I would get an immediate "I'm sorry Mom". Not Aly, she lives for the challenge, I swear she does. She knows exactly what buttons to push that drive me over the edge and uses those buttons all the time. Don't get me wrong, there are soooo many things about Aly that are awesome. Her love of animals and little kids is her saving grace. If she is over here where I am living now, on my sis' horse ranch, for the most part, she is very well behaved. We let her get as involved in the animal care as possible. And she is excellent at it. She also is wonderful with sis' younger kiddos, has an enormous amount of patience when trying to teach them a new ball game or something. And she still loves to play with baby dolls, so it works out well in that respect. But, I was where you are so many years that I am now on medications for anxiety and depression just to cope. Aly will be 11 next week and I am getting more and more nervous about the teen years. My olders had a few issues, but for the most part sailed through pretty well. I am praying on a daily basis for the strength and patience I will need to help Aly through these next years. Feel free to PM me anytime. I get it!! BIG HUGS, Vickie [/QUOTE]
