I am getting drained and don't know what to do. Everyday, multiple times a day, my daughter tells me she "doesn't love me", that I'm "not nice", that I'm not her "friend anymore", that I "scream" at her. This is usually the result of me telling her "no" or that she cannot do something anymore that she is doing naughty. I do not scream at her, I tell her calmly, "no, we are not playing the iPad right now", or "No, you cannot have donuts". This happens everyday, 1-3 times a day. She demands that I say sorry to her for being so awful by saying no. It always has to go through the same routine, she gets mad, cries, says she doesn't love me anymore, says she's going to hit me, hits me, she goes to her room for timeout, screaming, until she is ready to apologize. She cries, says she is sorry, says she loves me know, and half of the time, asks again for the thing she wants, expecting me to say yes, in which I don't. I know she really doesn't mean it, but I am getting worn out, physically and emotionally, dealing with this on a constant basis. Does anyone have tips? Or dealt with this before? I am also a bit paranoid because I have recently come to the realization that my husband may have been dealing his entire life with undiagnosed Autism or Aspergers, or at the very least, OCD/ADD. Daughter is starting to exhibit some of his self-regulating behaviors. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2HnIalU
