6 year old - serrrrrious attitude all of a sudden

[BabyBlondex]

As the title says... dd has literally turned from being my little angel to having this attitude I’d expect from a 16 year old, not 6!

She’s quite old in her ways and you wouldn’t think she is 6 if you spoke to her.

If we’re bickering (we do this a lot, she is my best friend but ohhhh my god does she back chat) usually ending an argument with ‘Hannah I do not care about your oppinion’ Or ‘whatever my love’ normally with a hand gesture of 🤚🏼 Followed by a roll of the eyes or a shrug of the shoulder. You could be down to her level while telling her off (she’s rarely naughty, just cheeky and a bit hyper) and she just looks up to the ceiling, ignores me then says ‘you finished?’

Honestly I have to walk out of the room because I LAUGH like you would not believe and I know I shouldn’t. My mum says she’s exactly like me at that age and that she’s only passing down the attitude I gave her... thanks mum 🙄

It literally happened over night, it’s like she grew into a teenager, it’s harmless attitude and she doesn’t hurt anyone she’s just... a madam? 😭

Anyone else’s children the same? Please tell me it’s not because of my genes that she’s this way 😂 According to mother dearest!

My LO is now 6yrs too- and lately, she goes from all happy to sass and grumpy attitude real quick. It's mostly funny (tbh)- but I try not to laugh *too much*. I know her faces and sass partially come from me- so yea, I get exactly why she's grumpy or frustrated. I just remind her that she can only control herself (no one else), and that it's Ok to be frustrated or mad etc... but the min-tantrum is NOT ok. She's usually quick to get over it (just how she is by nature)- but man, sometimes it just drives me crazy LOL. Most of my friends with girls have all told me their girls went through it (or ARE going through it to a higher degree LOL)- maybe at different ages, but similar So yes- it's very common. I'd be surprised if a parent didn't experience it at some point. And part of me thinks it's great she feels comfortable enough to express herself... I encourage it... but within reason and age appropriate of course. And she knows when I give her "the look" that she's crossed a line '

My youngest has had an attitude since about 6 ... she's now 9. I have to stop myself laughing constantly either that or clipping her round the head (I don't by the way).

I've learnt to block her out because if she wants to say her piece she will not stop *bad Mum*

She's my daughter who I can banter with and clash with at the same time. Her sister is complete opposite.

You're lucky you made it to 6 without attitude. Anyway, I would say it's a combination of genetics (who she is by nature) and how you respond when she gives attitude (whether it's reinforced or discouraged).
