For moms with young kids

My 6 yr old is so disrespectful. Ever since she found out I am pregnant again she has been so rude to me. And tonight she sat at the dinner table literally gagging herself at the thought of eating dinner which I have prepared SO many times and she likes! Now after literally sitting there for over an hour refusing to eat she asks if she can have some ice cream? Gahhhhh!!! What do you do when your kids act out over the new pregnancy? She didn't act like this when I was preggo with her sister!!! Help!!!

Have you tried telling her how she hurts you by bein.g rude to you. i think you should talk and open up that her behavior is not okay maybe she will open up to you. i feel like its a phase and maybe when the baby will come boy or girl she will come around. i don't have kids but id try talking to her. My mom still hates it when she cooks something and we don't eat it. And maybe when you talk to her take her out for ice cream maybe when

19prego lol, trust me your going to bite your toungue in a few years!  I wish it were that easy, but all the time outs in the world wont give you a perfect child.  I bet you did disrespect your mom at that age too.  My daughter is a very well behaved 6 year old little girl- most of the time, and she gets diciplined, but she can still be disrespectful at times.  Ash, I think just talking to her is your best way to go, is there anybody even other then you or your husband you think she might trust enough to open up and talk about whats going on with her?  Im sure you guys will work it out.  Sometimes I think its easier for them to be mad at mommy because they really know your going to be there and love them no matter what.

Lol it's not like time outs work. She is six years old and it's a very confusing time for children with so much going on in the house.

My son isnt that old yet so i dont have much advice, but id definitely see if daddy can chat with her. It also sounds logical that shes seeing you as the bad guy in all the drama with you and your husband. It may help too if you feel shes old or mature enough for both you and your husband to sit her down and talj a little about whats been going on with mommy and daddy, and how you love each other and love her so much and that will never change. Shes old enough to see stuff going on, and realize its not normal, shes probly just scared and your her outlet...your a good mom Ash, dont let anyone tell you different. You guys are gonna make it. I believe in you. No one ever said being a parent is easy lol.

I hear ya ash. My two oldest have been acting out a lot too lately.  They are excited I am pregnant again so I'm not sure what they are doing it for. They have judt been extra sassy and crabby.   Just kniw you're not alone. It breaks my heart cause I just miss seeing them happy.

I'm not a mom yet so I am not going to even try to.give advice because I have no experience in this. I just wanted to say your mom is wrong. You are not a bad mom. The way you talk about
your kids on here makes it clear they are the center of your world. Also a bad mom wouldn't care if their kid was acting out. I hope you figure things out. Keep your chin up! One day this will all be a memory.

Yes Sarah, I have been thinking she might be afraid of losing her dad because although they are "sleeping" walls are thin and I'm sure she's heard the alcohol ultimatum so she might think of me as the bad guy threatening her dad. :/
And angel, she loves her little sister and when I was pregnant with her my oldest was so happy and wanted to be with me and the belly all the time but this time she doesn't care. I don't think it's about gender if the baby I think it's just her being jealous and upset with me
