Moms of toddlers or older kids...HELP!

Kelly • Mommy of 6, should we make it 7?!?!

My daughter is almost 3. As of about a week and half ago she had been sweet, funny, well behaved, polite, loving...she had her little moments of terror but for the most part she did well and listened.

That child is gone. She has been replaced by a child who is constantly telling me no, screaming when she doesn't get her way, refusing to eat things that she just asked for, not following any instructions I give her, crying about everything.

She is my 5th child and I'm due with number 6 in September. My ex husband was a stay at home dad to the oldest 4 so I wasn't really involved in a lot that was going on at home, I worked full time as a CNA and picked up shifts on a regular basis. I feel like I complety missed the Terrible Twos/Threes with my other kids! I don't remember it being this bad.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get through this without pulling out all my hair?!?! I'm terrified to have the baby and have all this chaos! I just downloaded the book The Whole Brain Child to see if I can gain some insight but I don't know what to do. Help!
