Hi there, I am a mother of two little girls ages 4 and 2 yrs old. I have been having problems with them for some time now. I cant get them to respect me. When they misbehave, I try to talk to them calmly, but they laugh at me or start crying so I stop talking and then walk away and continue to do what ever they were doing before. I have sent them to their room, canceled playdates, taken toys away, canceled parties or left activities early because of their behavior. I dont know what to do anymore. I would love to get control before its too late. Please help!!!! I will do anything at this point.

I pretty much cry myself to sleep ever night and my health is being affected by this. What can I do? I have tried to get advise from my mom or mother in law, but they dont offer any advise. I feel very alone and I am willing to try anything.

Do any of the mothers out there have any advise, please I am begging!!!!

Thanks for reading

Hi Virginia,

 I feel like you are my twin! I have the same issues. I am so frustated too. My girls are 4 and 2 also. My oldest gives me the most issues with talking back, sassiness, all out rudeness to me and my husband.... mostly to me because I am with her 24/7. I wish I had more advise for you, but I am on here looking for advise as well! It is comforting to me that somewhere out there I am not alone! Be strong and firm, hold your ground, don't give up or they will never respect you. I need to follow my own advise. You are not alone, God bless.
