HELP!!

I'm going out of my mind! My little girl has turned into a demon child! And this time I'm not joking. Terina has gotten to what I think is out of control. When she doesn't want to do something or when we don't give her what she wants right away the fist start to fly. She hits, she throws things, she'll fall and the ground kicking and screaming.... I can't take it! It seems like this has all just gotten worse over the last few weeks. Maybe she isn't sleeping enough? She's been in bed now napping for almost 2 hours.... I don't know. PLUS... She won't use the toilet! We were doing so good and then all of a sudden she wants to act like it's gonna swallow her whole.
Please... any experienced mothers out there... any advice?
Some times I really just wanna whack her... .and I do... under warranted reasons (like pushing a little 8 month old over who was just sitting there in the grass minding her own business... yeah)
Don't let this innocent face fool you!! She's a beast!
(And yes... I let her wear those Snow White dress up shoes to church)

Marie- She just got back home after being away for a month! My girls took 3 weeks to get back to normal after leaving grandma's house. Give her a little more time. She'll come back to sweet Terina soon. In the meantime just lock yourself in the bathroom more often! :) Love you guys!

Is that a hole in the wall next to Terina?

I agree with Jeff- that usually does calms them down for a day or two, if not, find her a "friend" who's equally as rough and let them duke it out, if she wins, sorry bout it little girl, if Terina loses, maybe she'll think twice about pushing baby's over..8 months Terina?! That's low, even for you! lol
I know you'll make it through Marie, just show her who's boss =-)

No Anthony... that isn't a hole, it's a Tinker Bell sticker that I've been to lazy to take off the wall. I'm taking it off now... the hole is behind the sign hanging up above her head. I don't think she has that much rage yet to put a hole through the wall :)

When I read blogs entries like yours today, I start to laugh.... not at you.. at the fact that I go through the same things and my girls are waaay older (Will it ever stop?)... Sorry i have no advice... other than tell you what i do... (i chicken out) and tell jason to get a belt and take care of it!

BTW... loved her shoes on Sunday! and PS... She was a perfect angel in Nursery!
