Yeah, in that case you have to draw the line. It's okay to be angry, it's not okay to hurt or scream at the baby. Maybe now is a good time to teach her to do something else when she's feeling angry.. walk away, count to ten, go for a walk, go jump up and down...whatever.

Stubborn little thing that she is, she was told tonight to go to her room until she could be nice. She missed dinner! She didn't even care, if it meant she had to be nice. Granpa went in, I went in, Mom went in, Dad snuck her some olives and tomatoes

Sounds like a she's a Scorpio.

She may be only 3, but she's old enough to understand that somethings aren't acceptable. It's hard though. Too bad Super Nanny can't come and help!

Yeah really... But she does have a really good book that you could probably check out at the library. I'm sure there is some advice in there on how to deal with a new baby in the family.

When we took her to visit her sister tonight she finally got the idea that the little one is not right . . . and actually reached out to touch her head. Big improvement, made us feel good.
