I'm sure alot of parents go thru this, however I do not know how to cope sometimes. She drives me nuts. She's often mean to her three year old brother and talks like a baby to him when I've told her time and again he is learning to talk still and she needs to speak correctly, and then she has him say words like "poopy" which aggravates me more. She mouths off to me, doesn't listen. I don't spank but I do send her to her room when she gets out of control which usually ends with her telling me no she doesn't have to. Then she'll scream she hates me and run off. I've tried talking to her about it. I don't know what else to do, I don't think I can send her to her room for the entire day, and I don't think I can send her to bed without dinner. She does listen to my boyfriend though, and my ex-husband (her father) never disciplines her and never has since she was born. So I know she CAN listen and behave, but how do I get her to behave for ME?
