Normal
That's how I feel as well. My difficult child has to understand that because she isn't feeling or is tired is no reason to behave inappropriately. I'm hoping that by starting young (I cancelled her 4th birthday party because of a hateful attitude) she will learn to self-regulate. At this point, she knows there will be consequences if she goes off on me and she's come pretty far in curtailing her rage toward me. As a result, she's doing well with others overall.
