My 8 year old is really working my last nerves! She is destroying all her clothes by cutting them and she ruined my parents door my glueing stuff to it! She throws fits like a 2 year old and talks back to me like a teenager! Talks don’t help, taking her stuff away or grounding her doesn’t help. I’ve had it with her and her attitude! It doesn’t help that my mom baby’s her and my husband doesn’t do anything. I’m getting tired of her acting out like this. I don’t know what to do with her anymore.



@momofboth, she sees him all the time we spend all time together when he’s not working.
@juliam27 does she get to see your husband alot ? And wow she got raped yea that could he messing with her head too . Poor girl ☹☹☹☹☹
@momofboth, her biological dad isn’t apart of the picture because he raped her. All she has is me and my husband (her step dad) that’s who she calls dad.
@juliam27 from experience with an 8 year old spanking will only make it worse but It also depends on the child and it obviously doesn't work for her . But you need to keep talking to her nicely and keep asking her and get her to tell you what's bothering her . Kids just don't act up for no reason . And did you think maybe she misses her dad ? .
@kaylacarese, I have spanked her but she act tough like it doesn’t hurt her.
@momofboth, yes I have and she’s all idk with an attitude like she doesn’t want to talk to me
Give her a good old fashion whooping. That'll do the trick👏🏽👋🏽 lol
@momofboth, we do spend one on one time. Long talks do not work on her. I’ve tried and she just gives me attitude.
I would try to spend some one on one time with her . Have a long talk with her . Being the older sibling is no fun.
@juliam27 my oldest is got like That when I was first was expecting my 3rd I felt so lost hope it gets better for you soon 💖
@ironbutterfly, idk what her deal has been lately but I’m too the point to where I don’t want to deal with her anymore. She’s so rude to my 6 year old and 1 year old lately. She’s been making them cry all the time.
I tend to sit my 8yr old down and make her write a full page out of what she did wrong and how she won't do it again.but I'm with ya about that attitude it's ridiculous! it's like 8 Going on 16
@juliam27 oh okay well the whole rape thing will never go away and she could have that on her mind and it's making her angry all the time . She probably has been building that anger up . Not saying that's an excuse to be mean but I would find a way to get her to open up about her feelings .
