Hi there my fellow parents,
Myself and my wife conceder ourselves as very concistent parents and have set strong values and prinsaples to our young girls.We have a 2 year old and a 12 year old girls.My eldest lauren when she wqas a child she was so sweeet and done things and always lisened to what we said to her and how we disaplined her,well the problem is my 2 year old though sweet does`t listen to a word my Wf says or tells her unless its in her interests to listen.she isnt a bad child but compared to my other daughter she is a terror.All i need to do is tell her and say how naughty she is being she does what i ask of her.It`s normall 2 year old behaviour.My wife will ask her or tell her to do something she compleatly ignores what she is saying with total disregard.
I maybe sound strange but she know that she is being defiant as she will come and say to myself im sorry not mean it.She is a child that loves to be doing things and i try to keep her occupied as much as her brain will allow me too,yet she can sit for hours with me playing away and not a single note of defiance or misbehaviour.yet as soon as my WF comes home or if she has maybe had a lye in soon as she comes in the house ellie starts her defiance.my wife is at her wits end as she feels that she is failing as a mother some how,i keep telling her she will grow out of it she still find it hurtful.
As my eldest was a model child yet now is a typical 12 year old pre-pubism and her body is going through big changes and she has an attitude towrds her mother too and i fear that this is were my youngest is gettin the misbehavour.please advise what we could try to get a better balance............
