My 17 month old daughter is becoming very stubborn

So here I am again with similar issues.

I am noticing behaviour change in my 17 old daughter. Its like she is taking advanage of our softness and weaknesses and learnt about it.

Every day she comes home and starts crying for anything. She will point her finger, cry and if not heard, louder. It keeps on going till midnight. Again she keeps waking up crying. Falls this side, switch that side but loud cries and pull blanket from me to not have it ( share).

She sleeps with me so we share blanket. She has smthing special attachment to that blanket's softness and also keeps putting sides of it in mouth, plays with it.
Many times if she is mad at both of us, she will go to bedroom to that blanket.

Earlier we used to get scared a her midnight cries but now wegot use to. We still can not sleep.

She does not sleep in her crib. Moreover she moves so much, we are scared of putting in crib, she will hurt with edges or railing.

It keeps going till 5 am when she sleeps for 1-2 hour continously and again in morning she starts crying.

I have stopped worried completely about her meals. IF does not eat, when hungry and feel lik e it she will come back. But now this.

We can not sleep at day or night or weekends. In 17 months with her, I have grown older with rate of 10 times. Even on delivery day, my skin was okay and hair was less shabbier.

She wants something, she just wants it and will keep crying till she gets it.


And also she started hitting me. Now I show my anger of disapproval and sometimes slightly hit her or raise hand, she has little changed. She will get mad, hits me in her anger pang then immediately change attitude kissing me.

I do not know if its a phase or I need to take action. I have started ignoring her and I do not want this to be her personality when she grows up. One more thing, she is very happy outside and does not fight with any kid or people outside. To her daycare teacher or kids. If anyone is asks her to get away& let them play instead or push her, she will.

Is your child pee/poo trained then? Mine will not even sit on potty these days. She will stiffen herself and keep jumping. Amazing..how they learn all these tricks. Just will not forget if something was refused to give, even after 15 mins of crying, she will go to same place :-((
We put sofa cushions down on floor every night after we had 1 episode of fell down at night :-(( I am really afraid how I am going to handle her all alone in flight. These days she just hates me. She wants her dad all the time which is okay for me but he gets tired and becomes cranky many times.

 

Thanks girls.
Well my H does nothing more than I do. It is me who takes her out, shows her things around, explains,reads books to her. My H shows her tab/TV. But still she wants him, and infact runs after him when he puts her down to get ready or do something. I mean I am not jealous or anything. But I hate my H gets irritated many times and shouts as he gets tired he has to carry her for long time so she falls to sleep.

About waking up at night, I think she cries no matter what. Bascially she looks for blanket which is anways on her but she somehow wants it closer or sleep on pile on it. she she tries to gather it.

She hates me If I talk to her, "like baby what happened, mommy is here..u want blanket..blah.. ", touch her or anything at night. She will get louder.

Since now I started not paying much attention, she cries for few minutes, pull blanket and again go back to sleep, again wake up...and cycle goes on till 5 - 6 in the morning.

but there have been times we have to carry and again walk.

About her eating, also I have stopped pushing now. I have given up There is noting on this earth that she likes now. Even milk is only 2 times and she won't finish it.
