I have a five and a half year old little girl. The last few months have been very trying. She's overly dramatic, exaggerating every little thing. She expects a new toy every time we go to Wal-Mart. She cries at the drop of the hat. I work, so my time with her is limited during the week. I also have a two and a half year old little boy. Once he goes to bed, we have one hour each night that we dedicate to my daughter. We play games, sing, do worksheets and puzzles, read, tons of stuff in that hour. It's never enough for her. She cries that we don't spend enough time with her.
Our weekends are spent playing with the kids, doing family trips and errands and just hanging out. We do things as a family, but we also take the kids one on one.
Are all five year olds like this? What do you do? How do you deal with the drama and the guilt?
