Acting out for attention while testing boundaries at the same time.
The others did it too, but it seems to get worse with each kid. Or I'm just getting older and more tired.

And is befriending pretty much just boys at the playground. Holding hands with one and telling him she will show him the slides... with a stuffed Simba, too. Lol

Something that might interest her and change the situation.
Ive found that calming the situation helps. I will look her in the eyes and talk rationally and tell her it's unacceptable and it seems to work. Then I will give her some positive reinforcement about something else. A lot of times she's just trying to get that attention. To some children negative attention is better than nothing.

Glad for 2 boys. Don't think I could break out the belt on a little girl. It's like Pootie Tang at my house. Have the belt already back on by the time the felt the sting.

I try to calm it but I have to let her settle on her own because right now it's almost irrational trying to talk when she is having one. Nana is daycare at the moment a few days a week and she gets away with murder. She comes home expecting it to be like that here. Lil girl is spoiled I just vent my frustrations here... And breathe

The wife tells me the same thing. I told her if she didn't work, she would have to clean her own damm house, watch her own kids, and eat her own cooking. She shut up then.

So I fixed a few things on Seven last night. She had been a little neglected.
Since my battery problem was finally solved (replaced it months ago and it always starts stron now even if it sits for a month) I reconnected the amplifier in the trunk so that i have my door subs and door component speakers working again. I was driving it around for months with only the two rear deck speakers on head unit power.
It sounded great! Best thing I ever did was taking out the factory Shaker 500 crap and putting some real 8" subs I'm the door and reinforcing the enclosure.
My boost and fuel pressure gauges stopped working a while back and I discovered it was a blown fuse. So I replaced it. If it happens again I'll probably have to track down a short in the wires but that won't be too bad. They work good now too.
And lastly I finally connected the squirter nozzles and tubing on the new hood. So now i can finally was my windshield while driving.
Now I just need to clean her really good and put the stripes on the hood. I've got them in a box but I've just been too lazy.

I refuse to use my wipers unless absolutely necessary. I hate getting that crap all over my car. Plus it usually just makes it worse.
