I have had my day home for 1 1/2 years now. While it started off great, my daughter has been in the terrible 2's for at least 3/4 of a year. Starting when she was 1 1/2. I also have 2 school aged boys. 5 and 8.
She's demanding, VERY demanding! Screams at everyone, hit's anyone and everyone when she's mad, which is whenever she see's something she doesn't like. Like right now! One of my dh kids tried to play with her and she screamed her head off at her and went to hit her. Now she's trying to get into everything. And her new thing is saying she's hungry every 5 minutes. She throws, hits, bites, screams, destroys peoples block buildings, lego ect. Rips things out of kids hands. Blah Blah Blah.....She consumes all my time and patience my dc kids suffer as do my boys...

I love her and she can be the sweetest, cutest, funniest, most wonderful daughter. She gets more than enough attention from me in a positive way.
But she takes up my whole day, I am constantly putting out her fires.
I just feel my days would go so much smoother if I put her in dc and/or I went back to work.
