Pop Quiz

  1. Does your daughter apparently know better than you, about everything?
  2. Are you constantly having to count to ten to curb the urge to shut her in a cupboard and then barricade her in so you don't have to hear the phrase, 'I know that already' one more time?
  3. Will she throw herself on the floor and curl up in a ball rather than get her coat on/eat her dinner/go in a bath/leave the house (delete as appropriate)?
  4. Can she curl her lip in a pensive sulky fashion to such an extent that it must cause her physical discomfort?
  5. Does she think you are totally unreasonble when you tell her politely not to do something, juggling knives for example?
  6. Does she think it's hilarious to make you chase her down the street in your old joggys and slippers when she refuses to come back in the house after playing next door?
  7. When an activity is suggested does she retort with, 'Im not doing that it's boring'?
  8. Or when you're talking to her does she tell you to, 'Stop talking, you're boring me'?
  9. Does she refuse, simply refuse to go to the toilet even when you can tell it's getting painful due to the exhibition of the wiggly 'toilet dance'?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then go and have a lie down in a dark room. That's the only advice I have.
