I've calmed down. Had a long chat with my girl and we both said we love each other, hugged and that were sorry to each other. I told her I was wrong for yelling like I did and that I should not have got upset and blamed her. I'm human and I made the mistake of going bat crap crazy and she understood. I did let her know that I do not appreciate the way she disrespects me by talking back and that she needs to learn to curb her attitude in the future.
Please know that this child has hit every milestone in her life extremely early. She was independently walking by 8 months. Speaking full complete sentences by 14 months. Negotiating for a better answer starting at the age of three (still hasn't stopped this one). Ever since her dad got majority physical custody, she has changed. I don't think she blames me, but she is starting to get more flippant. I don't know why. I have overlooked many things and have let more than I should have just slide. Today it was too much and she had been flippant all day, and yes, I lashed out. Should I have? Resoundingly, NOPE. But I did and I can't go back and change things. All I can do is move forward from this point on.
Thanks for pointing out what I should and shouldn't have done. All the advice and constructive criticism is appreciated. Just don't beat me up too much. I already feel bad enough about it as it is.
Tomorrow is a new day. Hopefully her attitude will start to change.
