are you looking to be her friend or her mother, you got to draw the line. not that you cant be both, but right now at her tender age the empises should be on being a mother

i tell you ... your answers are great! i have tried to be her friend. i hate to discipline her because she's not mine. things are going to change. yay to leeroy, coach, people lover, and angie ... keep the answers a-comin'.

Sounds pretty spoiled, don't worry if she doesn't like you know, most kids don't have vivid memories around that age anyway. When she gets older by not giving her everything she wants, at least she will respect you. And you will have taught her a lesson about boundaries.

She is not a spoiled brat she is the result of inadequate parenting. My grand and great grand children treat not only me but everyone with respect because of parenting. You cannot be a friend to a small child you happen to have parented, your job is to guide, coach and if need be discipline them.

That's a classic remark from your granddaughter. Right up there with "I'll stop being your friend". Stay firm with her because she's testing you. She'll be OK after the tantrum that is sure to follow.
