this triggered by me agreeing that she could play a video game she wanted, but after taking a bath or shower and straightening her room, which are all normal parts of the routine here.
ODD, hello again!

Ah, the joys of parenthood! I have 2 young kids and since the onset of my anxiety I sometimes wonder how I cope at all. When they behave like that it just seems like they don't care; but the truth is they just don't understand. Its so tough to keep up with life. Especially with huge responsibilities like kids. Remember: she doesn't hate you, she loves you!
PS I'm potty training at the moment and its a nightmare! Sometimes I just want to get in the car and drive away!
