I can't believe this.....

Made me so mad I can't hardly do anything but sit still so I don't flip out. Today has been a day. We are going out of town tomorrow so I have been trying to get ready. I was cleaning while my daughter who is mad at me cause I was making her clean was doing the dishes. This is NOT her first time to do it either. She put dishwashing liquid in the dishwasher and started it. I was in my room cleaning when my other daughter started yelling MOM COME QUICK and bubbles were seeping out of the dishwasher. I was so mad cause then she looks at me (the one who did it) and shrugs her shoulders. WTH is with that? She doesn't want to clean, she doesn't want to pack, nothing. She wants to color and play...shes 10. She is old enough to do some things. My word, she cleans the bathroom, she even cleans her room perfectly. I can always count on her, so I have no idea what is going on with her. She has been fighting constinatly with her siblings also. I don't know, I have tried to talk to her with no explanation from her as to her actions. It is really getting to me. My kids are usually pretty good, and they try. She has really been bad, and I get so mad at her and she sees it, then walks away saying that I don't love her, and never have. Where is this coing from. I am so lost and confused. UUGGHHH

Hmmmm......2 things come to mind.  She has experienced something life changing which has caused the acting out and further investigation is called for......could be signs of early puberty, hormone levels are messed up causing behavior that is not common for her ( she would be as confused as you ) When did you go through puberty?  It usually develops in the daughter a yr before or after  the mothers did ( in most cases)  I was 9 (yes really) my daughter started at 10.

So look for signs and even consider a check up with her peds.  That's my thoughts.  Hope it helps.
