Everything is driving me crazy. My daughter is 8 years old. She doesn't want to help with anything, doesn't clean up after herself. You can't get her to clean up after herself for anything. If you scold her, she might clean up, but the next time it's like it was before. She comes home and immediately throws everything on the bed, drops things as she walks. It's just awful, impossible to teach her anything. Brushing teeth, washing her face – it's a scandal. She doesn't want to do anything, she has no self-control. We bought a new phone, and while I was figuring out how to limit her screen time for a week, she was on her phone for 5 hours a day. Every day I scolded her, told her she needed to do her homework, but she did nothing. My husband and I took turns coming home from work, we couldn't leave her without the phone. She lied constantly, said she was doing her homework, but in the end, she did nothing, just sat down and went back to her phone, apparently. Something terrible is happening. My nerves are shot. I feel like I hate everything. Every day is a scandal and yelling, she has no understanding. Today she says – are you going to beat me? I say – are we beating you? She says – no. She just deliberately says all sorts of nonsense. God, I really want to just walk up and smack her, I have no strength left. And this PMS is just making my nerves even more frayed.

What are the consequences for the baby if she doesn't listen?

Tanya I scold her. I might punish her by taking away her speaker. I limit her phone usage. Because she lied about being sick and was on her new phone the whole time, I gave her back her old phone with a 30-minute limit. But she doesn't care about any of it.

It sounds like you're really struggling. Your daughter's behavior isn't a reflection of how you treat her. You should see a psychologist and get some help. Only then should you start focusing on her upbringing. Her behavior is a result of your negativity. If you continue like this, she'll act out even more and quietly resent you. Eventually, it will be impossible to mend your relationship with her. While she's still little, surround her with love. I really value cleanliness, but when my child comes home tired from school, they're just exhausted. They take off their shoes in the middle of the hallway – I'll move them aside. They throw their shirt down – I'll quietly pick it up. It doesn't even cross my mind to yell or blame them. If they've come in from outside and make a mess, I'll point it out, and they clean it up. Start with yourself!

Svetlana I'm constantly cleaning up after her, and I think that's why she acts this way and can't be potty trained.

Tanya Scolding usually doesn't work well. Phone time should be limited on a regular basis. And playing can be allowed after chores are done.
Maybe instead of scolding, try to motivate her somehow. For example, my nephew gets extra phone time for doing his homework on time.

Tanya No need to do anything for her either. Let her do it herself.

You're writing about wanting to lash out in anger, about endless scandals. This isn't about a "bad" child, it's about your own resources being depleted. You can't fix anything in this state; you need to sort out your own head and nerves first, maybe see a psychologist. Until you get yourself together, you won't be able to help your daughter.

Valyushka She makes videos and runs a group for relatives. She wanted a better phone, so we bought her a new one. A basic phone wasn't an option.

Valyushka Then you're not an authority to her. Somewhere, you've made a mistake, which is why she doesn't respect you.
Well, she won't film videos if her family won't understand
