Mine is the same as Jenn's. I've been yelling an aweful lot lately. It seems like that is the only way to get her attention at times. I'm working on it and hopefully I can stop myself before I start.

Yep, yelling. Also don't have any patience. So far only been at this for 3 years I am sure it will be something else in a little while

Mine is kind of whatever. I need to show I care more at least right now. I feel winter blues have a lot to do with this, reason we are all cooped up.

Yelling and believe me its not working here at all, what I get is her yelling at me now, She repeats everything i tell her. If I try time out then she tells me she's going to put me in time out. I spank and that don't work, she spanks me back. I'm at my wits end, I have no idea what to do in order to get her to be a good girl. She is to much at time, I feel like I want to just cry!

I understand where you are coming from, Lupe. Yelling would be my thing, I am trying to make a concious effort to not do it when Brianna is doing something wrong but sometimes it just seems that is the only thing that makes her stop. But the only thing the yelling produces is her crying and saying sorry Mommy and me apologizing and then 2 mins later her doing the same thing or something else bad. Counting to 3 doesn't work as she just laughs and counts with me, taking her to her room worked for 2 days, now she doesn't mind and when I say you are going to room if you continue being bad she says okay I go to room and will actually play in her room. I hate to yell but like I said I just sometimes feel that is the only way to get through to her. I feel so bad doing it and I always hug her and tell her that I am sorry for yelling.
