 Hi, I don't know what you should do, sorry!!!! But I have a three year old girl and a one year old girl and my situation is just the same. My three year old cannot go half an hour without needing to be disciplined and I am at a loss on what to do.  She is so draining  that I am just fed up with dealing with her, my one year old is complete opposite I am lucky if she gives me trouble once in a week.  I feel like I am favouring the one year old by giving her a constant flow of positive attention and the three year old is constantly getting in trouble.  Its not a jealousy thing she has been difficult from day 1.  She is moody just shrieks at people if they look at her when shes in this mood, which she will be in for no particular reason, throws tantrums every hour or so, usuallly due to not getting her own way, sometimes just because she wants to.  I find it hard to be consistent because her outbursts are so frequent that I can't keep it up for too long.  She doesn't listen and will only do what I say when i have reached my extreme level and start heading her way with a look that she thinks I am about to kill her.  I makes me sad to always be rousing on her because I love her so much that I just want to spend my time cuddling and kissing her rather than yelling and threatening and punishing.  No matter what the situation it always turns into her wanting more and more and ends in a tantrum when she doens't get her way.  For example, its bed time, I use all my tricky strategies to get her to bed without a fit- eg warning, followed by the routine, we get there do the rituals, nappy on, fan on, etc but then come the orders " no, I want the fan there, or my sheets aren't straight, blah blah blah, theres always something so that I will have to say NO and she will have a tantrum, it like shes not happy unless SHE GETS TO HAVE A TANTRUM!!!!!!!!!   AGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
