I dont understand where lo got this behavior!
My lo is extremely bossy and a control freak. Sometimes I will do what she asks me as long as it doesn't interfere with whatever it is I'm trying to do. Lately, it's gotten out of control though!
An example, sometimes she will watch a short show in the morning while I'm getting ready. When I blow dry my hair I will close the bathroom door so she can still hear her show while she's on my bed. This morning she was using the potty and had just woken up when I was blow drying so I didnt bother closing the bathroom door. She ran in with her pants still down and screamed at me to close the door! I told her it wasn't nice to scream and that I didn't need the door closed this morning. She kept yelling, so I told her that I would have to leave the room if she was going to yell at me.
Another controlling example, she is always asking me to play barbies with her. When we try to play, though, if I don't say the right thing or do the right actions she gets mad at me and yells! I tell her if she yells at me I won't be able to play and I will leave the room, but she's still so mean!
Is this her just trying to have a little control? I do let her do most things on her own and she has a lot of control. Maybe I need better boundaries?? I have no idea! Help!
