Ugh, why is it that every few months my beautiful, happy, bubbly, independent wee princess turns into an evil, sulky, disagreeable grump more reminiscent of an angsty pre-teen than a four year old?
Yesterday I bought some lemonade for a treat coz it was hot (and coz I was secretly craving it). I poured her a glass. She sat in the lounge and screamed at me to bring it to her. I told her she could have it in the kitchen where me and the gremlins were having afternoon tea. She sat in the lounge and continued to scream until her DVD was finished, then appeared in the kitchen shrieking "naughty mummy, you didn't bring my lemonade" at the top of her voice. I told her to settle down, and that she could have her lemonade in the kitchen with us and she said... "NAUGHTY MUMMY, I'M GOING TO HIT YOU!" 
So I sent her to her room where the performance continued on for another 1/2 hour or so until she finally calmed down. And that's just one example. She's just being generally feral and unco-operative, last night I asked her to pick up her pens off the floor before she went to bed and she said "whatever" in the cheeky, sarcastic way that teenagers do. Where is she getting this stuff?! Is she the only feral four year old? I suspect she is just more than ready for school and her behaviour will settle when school starts but so help me God if I don't wring her neck before February! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou Emma!!!!
As horrid as it is for you to deal with, it really makes me feel better to read that! Ella is like Jekyll and Hyde at the moment. One minute she's a gorgeous, cooperative, helpful little darling and the next its like a switch has flipped and she's a hormonal drama queen screaming, hitting and crying at the drop of a hat. I can't wait for kindy next year!  to you for putting up with it while sick and hormonal yourself though, you're such an awesome mum!------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Ahh yes. My neice was like that too!! When i lived with her there were times where i would just tell her to get out of my room she was being such a cow! lol.
Sometimes when id pick her up from day care or she'd get home she wouldnt speak to me!! She would just have this look on her face like a sulky teenager and this is me doing nothing at all except as her how her day was! lol. ------------- Melanie. Mum to Briahna Robyn, 3yrs |

My happy little Cameron seems a bit hormonal at the moment too. He's four and a half. I got pulled aside at daycare yesterday for a 'wee chat about this attitude Cameron has at the moment'. He's chatting back to the teachers at preschool, hitting his sister and pushing me at home. Urghh, what happened to my sweet, loving little boy?
I'm with you Emma - i think Cam is ready for school and the next 6 months are going to be very loooooong! |

As a Former Feral Four-Year-Old (actually, feral from about 18 months to 15 years - my poor mum!) I can honestly say they DO get better! My mum tells stories of how people would laugh when she said she wasn't sure I would survive to be 5 years old, and she was serious. I was a HORRIBLE child, but an ANGEL for everyone else. Mum couldn't figure out who they were talking about, cos HER daughter was a sh*t!!!
Hang in there, guys. |

Cathrine you are giving them false hope. They still have the worse to come before it gets better and no one knows more about being a feral teenager than our very own Emma ------------- http://lilypie.com">

When I found out Maya was a girl, my midwife said to me that girls are better babies than boys, but when they're teenagers the roles reverse and girls are awful. I live in fear!
Today she screamed for an hour and a half in her bedroom (I kid you not, Gandt heard her when we were on the phone) because I sent her to her room for pulling down the curtain in the lounge. Willie is not going to be impressed when he gets home coz he had to fix it the last time she pulled it down and it's a mission. They're all yours Kels! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Well Aimee, when it gets really bad, think of me and it'll make you feel better - I have THREE girls! 
Was at a birthday party with Miss Feral Four herself today and got talking to one of little friends mums and she reckons her wee cherub is pretty feral too, which was hard to believe considering how damned cute they all looked in their pink fairy dresses. But I am soooo not foooled! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Omg, Paris is so the same, she has been fairly ok lately but the last few days have seen her talking back a heap, I told her this morning to make sure she put sunblock on when she got to daycare, to which the reply came "I'm not going outside today".. "well, put some on anyway in case you forget when you DO go outside" "I don't need sunscreen on inside" "yes i know that but it will save time"
moral is, yeah she had a point but i also know she says that, forgets and then just goes off running outside and doesn't get any on until a teacher realises she hasn't had any put on. ARGH, add to that miss I-can-get-out-of-bed-a-million-times-a-night (ayja) who is a tired grumpy butt from staying up till 9.30 and waking at 7am and taking over an hour to get to go for afternoon sleep, and i am going slightly nuts. She doesn't even stay in bed long enough to try to go to sleep despite being clearly feral-grumpy and tired as hell. last night mike tucked her in went into paris's room, turned around 2 seconds after getting in there to find ayja tip-toeing down the hall!!! She has been told that tomorrow the side is going back on her cot for a few days if this continues. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

This morning Miss Feral Four is home from preschool coz she refused to clean her room so I've made her stay home and while the gremlins sleep the nanny is going to supervise Maya cleaning up her pigsty. Oh and did I mention that she hit Sienna this morning for no reason other than that she was mad with me for sending her to her room and Sienna happened to be the closest one to her at the time, grrrr!
LOL at Paris' reasoning Janine, they think they are SO clever! The worst thing is that they do kinda have a point, frustrating! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I think the worst part is even though they have a (slight) point (just maybe) you can't reason with them so they don't believe you that you are right TOO!
I'm ready to strangle Kiya some days... sorry ladies, it doesn't get any easier, except that you can negotiate a little better... the problem here is that Kiya is so black and white that solutions are either right or wrong - and if they disagree with what she wants, then they must be wrong. We've finally come up with a couple of things that stop the worst of the arguments but we're still figuring out what to do about the attitude. My sister admits the biggest difference between her and Kiya is that she, at 16, can slam the door harder and has a better vocabulary for muttering under her breath! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

right, the side has gone back on the cot this afternoon, we have had silence, am too scared to check and see if she's actually gone to sleep, but she thought it was a great joke when we put her to bed. I don't see this being terribly successful in too many ways, other than getting her to darn well sleep for a few weeks and catch up cos her temper at the mo is unbearable as she's so tired.
