R, it sounds like C is picking up on your anxiety about the birth of your baby. Very, very normal behaviour at this stage of the game I am afraid. Your best bet is to give her lots of love and in terms of the discipline, offer her choices so that she feels that she is a big girl and she has the choice. i.e., if she won't dress herself, tell her that she can dress herself or you can do it for her. If C chooses for you to dress her then step in and dress and get it done and don't give into her demands etc.

As for C not wanting to feed herself, give into that just a little, it will help build her confidence because then she will know that you aren't going to ignore her when baby arrives. C needs to know that she is still important in your lives so spend as much time with her as you can and play games with her that she enjoys etc.

Hang in there R, second time round is easier in a lot of respects but more challenging in others. You will do well.

How do you disc ipline whemyour LO's are cheeky, C is riving us insane, she has an answer for everything, argues with us on everything, she wont listen to me and when she does its a tantrum while she is doing it. She also orders me around like im her slave and she will whine when she asks for something instead of asking like a big girl. She shouts to me from the other rooms in the house and refuses to come and ask me for something, she wont eat on her own anymore, I have to feed her and this is all really draining me and Im not sure what discipline to use here, its driving me flamingmad
She has also started to say that she wont share anything with dad like cupcakes or even his dinner!!!!!
Im not sure if she is feeling a bit insecure cause im very tired and cant pick her up anymore and things like that, I dunno what to do but my angel is becoming a monster
