I’ve posted about my defiant toddler many times before but I’m really at a loss now. She deliberately disobeys. Like, she knows what “no” means and if she’s doing something she knows she’s not supposed to I can ask “do you want to go in timeout?” And she’ll answer “no” and SOMETIMES stop.. I can’t take her anywhere cause she refuses to listen. She runs wild, screams, throws tantrums etc. At home she’s just as bad and absolutely nothing I do or say helps. Timeout doesn’t work, hand poppings don’t work, a pop on the butt doesn’t work, I’ve tried getting down to her level and calmly explaining things or trying to make sure she knows that I understand her emotions and things like that but I’m not even kidding when I say nothing works with her. I’m constantly telling her no and even though she knows she’s going to get into trouble she will do it anyways and then cream this blood curdling scream when she does get in trouble. I’ve raided Pinterest for days, write everything down, tried everything I found... idk what else to do. Everyone keeps telling me it’s “terrible twos” or “she’s just strong willed” or that it’s normal for her age and all of that might be true but there’s gotta be some kind of something that will help me teach her to listen to me and such.
FTM problems... So I've made it pretty clear that I want to buy my daughter her fist Halloween costume. Her babysitter/nanny keeps saying she wanted to make her one. I told her yesterday that I wanted to find her something that my SO and I could dress up as a family. So I told her I am going to get it. She just text me and said 'not trying to step on your toes but I bought her two costumes'. She does this all the time. Anytime I want to do the "first" things with her she immediately does it. It's making me sad. Like I wish I could quit my job and be home with her.
Teen Mom Soooo Amber is a hormonal b***! I feel bad for her boyfriend. She’s not letting him have any say on what’s going on. Oh and she called him a hippie and shat for not wanting to find out the gender. I want to reach through the TV like b**** I’m not a hippie and I don’t know my baby’s gender.
I just absolutely love some women on here! Some woman wants to write on another women's post telling her she shouldn't be having sex at all in the beginning of pregnancy. I didn't know she was her doctor. Then she wants to tell me that the first trimester is only 1-9 weeks pregnant. And she lost her baby at 4 weeks pregnant due to sex. Like sweetie that's your period starting!

I used to do this when I felt sick to my stomach. I would do it till I threw up and I would feel much better! I actually had to do it a couple times while pregnant with my son.

Yeah I know that can help. It’s a good point I didn’t think about. She is feeling better too I guess so we shall see.

Tell her dad right away. Go to the doctor. Does she have an eating disorder or maybe she might have one and you don't know. That can be serious

I used to do this when I was little. When I was sick and couldn't vomit without stimulating it. It would make my tummy feel better for a bit and I could rest. My mom says I still wanted to play but would by wiped out. I also would ask for odd things but it was literally all that sounded good at the time.

How old is she? I used to do around about the same things and it didn't make sense to me my belly would hurt like hell I'd puke and be fine for a while...i went to doc after doc that said i was fine as I got older it came in spells then 10 years ago I had a bad spell and couldn't eat for 5 days ended up in the hospital they said it was ibs and gurds now im 26 and and looking back i was having flare-up caused by the combo of gurds ibs and gastroparesis.

That’s a good point. She’s 7. I’ll make sure to have her dad keep an eye out too. I don’t want anything to be wrong ya know?

This was my first thought also. It was from what I was eating though. Not IBS or anything.

Oh no.
Honestly, I would be straight forward with her and tell her what you saw and ask why she was doing that exactly and see if her explanation makes any sense and then go from there.

So I asked her if she was making herself throw up and she said no. I said I saw her gagging herself with her hand and she is still staying she didn’t do it. 😔

yeah. She probably won't admit it now, since you went straight for assuming the worse, she might feel afraid to open up now. I personally would have said I seen you putting your fingers down your throat, is something wrong? Are you okay? Is there anything you wanna talk about? Kind of manner. Kids tend to close up when they feel they will get in trouble. I would continue to keep a close eye on her, maybe accompany her to the bathroom every time she goes to throw up. If she is forcing herself too, shes not gonna throw up naturally.

@the_rural_queen, I get what you mean. The question I asked was “I saw you with your hand in your mouth are you trying to make yourself throw up? Are you having some bad feelings?” And she said no I’m ok just sick to my stomach. So I replied hun I saw you with your hand in your mouth and I just want to make sure you’re alright because that’s not good to do. She said said no I’m fine just sick to my stomach. I told her she won’t be in trouble or anything and she’s been great for me otherwise. I hope she feels comfortable opening up to me eventually though. I feel bad.

Hmmm, does her mother have a history of doing that?

Not that I know of. Her dad is at work but I’ve been keeping him updated so he’s aware.
