Ok, we have a routine down. We have done the same thing for I don’t know how long. I’ve lost track of how long this has been happening now to be honest, but almost every night now my step-daughter fights us with going to bed. She throws an awful tantrum and just cries and screams in her room. It’s always, “I’m not tired”/“I don’t wanna go to bed”. We’ve tried extending her bedtime out a little bit to see if that makes any difference and it doesn’t.

Do you guys have any suggestions?! This is really starting to get old…we didn’t have the terrible 2’s so maybe she’s making up for it now in the 3’s, but still 😭
