I'll make this short. I'm pleading with you ladies, please tell me im not alone. My adorable little toddler has recently turned in a whiney, defiant, crying, temper tantrum throwing child.

Is this normal? Am I supposed to coddle her or put her in time out? How do I discipline my three year old? I hate this! I'm crying typing this. I don't want her to think this behavior is ok. Any time she is told no she throws a fit. How do I handle it? I try to stay calm but today I spanked her because she wouldn't stay in time out. She looked at me like I was a monster. I felt horrible. Please give me advice and tell me this is normal? Please 😭😰😥😖
