Yes your daughter sounds like a bully, the question I have for you is what are the consequences for her actions?

After you told her you had to leave your bedroom why did it take 4 stories? If your letting your 2 year old rule the roost now you will be seriously in for it as she gets older.

The 2.5 year old sounds like she needs some boundaries as well, taking toys should not be allowed either. How do you encourage them to play together?

my daughter cried in my room alone for the duration of the 4 stories i read to the other girls. by no means am i letting her rule the roost. she hears 'no' a lot and has quite a few boundaries.

the idea of them playing together is a good one and i am researching games that we can play as a group - a few of which they seem to enjoy for as long as a 2 year old can. another thing that has been helpful is having them share snack with each other. they all take turns handing out crackers or fruit to each other - they love it.
