Sorry to hear you are having so much trouble right now. Stay consistent. Stay calm. And find little ways to make the boring things more interesting. Sometimes just asking our daughter normal everyday questions like “What are you going to take for snack to school tomorrow?” will get her to perk up.

It will get better as long as you stay consistent and calm.

My situation is so depressing that I actually googled “extremely stubborn daughter” and this blog appeared at the top of the list.
My daughter refuses to cooperate in anything she considers routine, such as washing her teeth, having a bath. She spends almost a hour running around naked thinking its really funny that mummy is waiting by the sink with a cup and toothbrush. I just don´t find it funny anymore.

I know this stage all too well. My #3, is 2 year old now and his favorite line is, “That’s not fair.”

That one he got from one of the older ones.

He also picked up something not so cute from me.

I don’t have kids yet myself, but I remember when my little brothers were that age. It just seems that every kids has to go through that stage.

Funny I was just thinking of posting on the same subject, only for my almost 3 year old boy. “Determination” is wonderful isn’t it?!

We’re pretty sure it is mostly just a phase. She’s gone through similar stubborn stretches before. We make sure to let her know we don’t think it is cool and send her to the naughty chair when she gets too out there.

The offer to swap for a cute cuddly baby is off the table though. She was nice most of the morning today. Maybe we’re getting close to getting the nice Geetle back.
