Behavior of 10 Year Old
I have a 10 yr. old daughter that is very rude. She is the oldest of four children, she is constantly fighting with them but she screams and wants to physically fight with them. She thinks everybody hates her and are out to do her bad. She constantly has these tantrums that not even my 2 year old has. Yesterday my fiancée of six year (whom she didn't approve of at first) well he came to the door and she look at him through the window and told him to wait and ran to tell me but she told me he was just driving up not that he was at the door, so after no response my fiancée left and when I called him to see what had happened he explained to me what had happened and so now the wedding is off,
Why did she do that? And why is she acting this way?
Classic oppositional defiance. Sounds like your daughter runs your house. Get her into therapy. She's not rude, she's disturbed. Face it and deal with it.
As for your fiance...any guy who calls off a wedding because a child played a prank...albiet a really nasty one...wasn't there in the first place. What are you missing as far that goes?
SHE? didn't approve of your boyfriend?...who's the adult?
