So recently my SD has been super emotional. She usually is and this comes in waves. But now she's got her period at almost 11. The last weekend we had her I swear she cried 4 times a day about anything. And most of the time she would ramble on about 5 different things she was crying about at one time. Well the next weekend we got her again and she started crying at my sons birthday dinner the minute we got there. Said she was uncomfortable. I asked about what and she said there were too many people at the restaurant. She's never said that at any restaurant. So I comforted her and assured her it was fine. We sat down to talk and order. Then she gets all shy acting and says she doesn't know what to eat and starts tearing up again. So we finally agreed she could eat the nachos. Then she wants the fried pickles so we let her order some. We know she gets a little jealous anytime one of the other kids gets attention for anything. I'm two seats down from her because it's a huge long table and her dads on the other side of me and my sisters are sitting next to her. They love her and she loves them. Well as we start eating and my sons starting to open presents she comes and sits at a tall table behind me. As we continue with the party she squats down behind me and says she has cramps. Mind you her period should have been gone by now. Continues to cry on and off because she hurts and doesn't feel good and wants to go home. I told her we weren't ending the party and offered her some motrin which she didn't take but continued to complain. She ate all her pickles and none of the nachos. By the end of the party she's fine and as we leave she's joking with the boys in the back of the car. By the time we get home she pouty again because she says she's now hungry. She ate the whole order of fried pickles and some of my chips and queso but none of her nachos and proceeds to eat spaghetti o s and a cupcake. Now she starts complaining the next morning about cramps because we're all getting ready for family pictures and I'm trying to work with our 3 year old. Later that day we dropped her at her moms who of course wasn't home. She's been gone a week to the mountains with the grandma and 3 month old baby because she needed a mommy vacation and to get out of town and had been gone a week. SD starts crying again in the car because her mom wasn't coming home because she "had to stay another day to Christmas shop". I'm starting to think this whole weekend was to get attention. I know her mom was gone and my some got attention at his birthday dinner with family. She doesn't beg my husband for attention like that often. She only wanted me this weekend. Yet her mom says she hates me. Then again when I emptied the kids trash can this weekend there were no feminine products in the trash anywhere so her period must have been gone. I'm at a loss what to do and how to handle some of these situations. My husband tries and it usually backfires when she does this. We generally only have her every other weekend and it's hard. We can't give her all the attention just because she's here it's not fair to the other kids. When we ask the kids what they want to do we alternate when the big kids are home on the weekends because I too get my son the same weekends. I have him the rest of the week to and his dad gets him every other weekend and every other Tuesday night. So my son shares his weekend time with me too. I just don't know how to handle her outbursts anymore. She's talking to a counselor as well. I'm at a loss
