Terrible horrible no good 5.5 year old


HELP SOS.TLDR; 5.5 year old girl is the most stubborn and defiant person I have ever met who never listens and loves confrontation.Let me set the stage:We wake up at 6 to get ready for school and work but she doesn’t want to get up and is completely limp so I have to dress her and continuously go in her bedroom to tell her to brush her teeth and come for breakfast. She doesn’t want to do these things so often she doesn’t brush her teeth in the morning or eat breakfast. She also almost always wants to argue about what she’s wearing but if she would get her ass up and choose her own damn clothes this wouldn’t be an issue. So we have to go over the pissing and moaning about wanting new clothes but it’s too late to change we’re already late again so put your shoes on. “I can’t I need help” you’ve put those shoes on 6000000000x just put them on. Dirty looks abound.Finally the shoes are on so we can go to the truck but for some reason today and 3 other days out of the week she doesn’t want to put her seatbelt on. “I can’t I don’t know how. It hurts my arm” etc etc. 5 minutes and 57 threats later and the seatbelt is on. I drop her off and I am finally at peace because I don’t have to see her again until 3.3pm comes and I’m anxious. She will be tired, thirsty, most likely need to go to the bathroom and hasn’t eaten. Why hasn’t she eaten? Did I pack her a lunch? Does she have lunch money? Yes and yes! She wastes her lunch time talking and goofing off so by the time I pick her up she’s MAYBE eaten a cheese stick or some yogurt.She greets me with dirty looks. Doesn’t want to leave. Great she hates me.We get home. She begins eating countless snacks. Is IN MY FACE nonstop asking me questions or telling me to watch her do things like run in circles or jump on one leg. When I start dinner, the bitching begins bc she wants more snacks. No, dinner is being prepared.Here comes the thing I hate the most. The repeating of herself. “But I want a baaaaaar mommy. But I want a baaaaaaar” following me Around and repeating this nonfuckingstop. I ignore her. It’s hard but I do.This is when the hitting or kicking begins. Once she does this I’m done. I put her in her room. But now she comes out. Sometimes if I get down on her level and talk, she will reason. SOMETIMES. So very rarely.Then bath. She doesn’t want to! Of course. So bath bombs to entire her. Okay now brush your hair. NO! She doesn’t want to! Okay so Frozen themed detangler. Now it’s bedtime. YOU GUESSED IT. She doesn’t want to. 1.5 hours later she’s asleep but half the time I have to leave the room and collect myself while she screams “mommy daddy mommy daddy” and she’s such a little asshole but that breaks my heart. I stay strong. She goes to sleep. I dread waking up. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2wT6NCQ
