OH's daughter stays with us every other weekend and extras if OH isnt working. We have her tonight and she has been told off (seriously told off and sent to bed early kind of telling off) she is tiny and keeps trying to pick Jaden up (he is 1 and over 25lb's)
I came into the living room to watch her holding him and falling over knocking his head off the harth and her own knee off the harth too. She has been told and told and told about this. She has hardly any dicipline at home because her mum cant be arsed to put up with the screaming and bad mood after telling her off.
OH is a push over when it comes to E because he feels like he has to be nice so she doesnt hate him. So i took her upstairs and changed into PJ's and she was still screaming as i left the room ( i know its tuff love but she will never learn) after 10 mins of screaming i went back up to ask her to be quiet and she was ripping the skin off her toes making them bleed. I asked her what she was doing and she said that she would have to come downstairs if she was bleeding.
OMG now she is either copying this behaviour or i dont know what or how she has learnt it. What on earth am i supposed to do? She is 5 and is self harming if this behaviour isnt stopped who knows where it may lead.
I gave her a tissue and told her to wipe it and didnt take much notice so as not to give her the attention she wanted from doing it.
any advice ???
