My kid is driving me crazy.

No one is allowed to call her her name, or a nickname, or anything but "little girl". She corrects anyone who calls her anything but, and each correction gets a little more loud and bratty. I don't know where this came from or when it will go away. It has been going on for about two months at least. I assumed it would pass, I have sent her to her room multiple times because she was throwing a fit about me calling her her name. I have talked to her when she was calm, explained why they couldn't call her that at school, but it doesn't matter. I just called her "love" and she screamed she was a little girl and stomped away. WTF?!?? I would like to smack whoever started this with her. Ideas to make this stop?

That might work. I could start over with a new baby and hopefully not screw up so much.

I have no advice for you but I do know that my brother went through a stage of only wanting to be called "guy".

Maybe it's a way for her to have some control? I dunno.

This may be dumb but what about using her name and saying you can't find her and you miss her?
