4 year olds with PMS

[joeychen]

We went out to dinner tonight with our friends and their almost 4 year old.
She was in quite the strange mood. Like she has PMS or something, she was soooo emotional. So that you felt bad for her, yet it was very funny.
A set of grandparents are coming up on Sunday, and she was crying about that, and how she wanted to see them. A phone call was made to Grandma to say hello, and more tears ensued.
Then later she was all Why can't I get married.
That coming from a 4 yr old, priceless.

hazel often has these weird emotional outbursts. actually i've tried to write about them a number of times but feel horrible about them and embarrassed and kind of ashamed. its gotten to the point where if it happens again i'm going to have no choice but to take her to a doctor. and they will probably want to medicate her, but dont even get me started on that...

she will out of no where start crying or screaming at the top of her lungs and will also hit, kick and try all she can to get away from me. like she doesnt realize that its ME and not someone else and that i'm not the bad guy.

a few weeks ago she wanted to take a bath and seemed so excited about it for some crazy reason. i filled the bathtub, got her bath toys, added bubbles, made sure she pottied first and it seemed that things were good to go. she got in and i went into the kitchen and not even a minute had gone by when she starts screaming bloody murder. she was so loud that i swore someone was going to call the cops on me. i ran in there and she was screaming so loud that she couldnt tell me what was wrong. she was throwing herself left and right, she got soap in her eyes and hit the back of her head on the wall, continued and whacked her chin on the tub and the whole time i was holding on to her trying to prevent these things as i saw them coming, which resulted in a slight bruise in the shape of my fingerprint! cops sooo would have jailed me! and i felt so guilty for doing NOTHING!(to her). as soon as she stopped moving for like 1 second i ripped her out of the tub before she hurt herself more and held her like a baby and sat on the floor in the bathroom for like 30 minutes soaking wet until she calmed down. there was still a lot of kicking and screaming all through the time i held her. and she cant explain herself at all. i ask if something scared her, if she saw something scary, if someone told her something scary, if someone hurt her or yelled at her, but nothing. sometimes she'll say "i'm just cryin' mommy". and then its like nothing ever even happened, she just snaps back into hazel as if nothing happened at all while i sit there about to burst into tears and want to barf at the same time. and now i feel like i've revieled too much and am considering deleting this. :\

they seem to get worse and worse everytime. but yesterday was over emotional, drama queen, crying day for hazel too, just like your friend's daughter. anything made her cry, including a phone call to grandma!
