You are not a crap mummy, you're j...You poor thing. You are not a crap mummy, you're just human. She knows what she wants, but you don't and rarely if ever will.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't make you crap. She's learned as you pointed out that screeching will get her attention, so she screeches. You could try training her instead. Ignore her when she screeches. Go into the garden and take slow deep breaths until she quietens. Then return to her. Keep doing it until she realises that if she screeches you'll go away and if she stops you'll come to her. <BR/><BR/>And the best of luck. You are just doing your best - as your mum did and her mum did. You may make mistakes along the way, but you're only human, it's ok to make mistakes. Be kind to yourself too.Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863034333159354009noreply@blogger.com
