It's one thing for a kid to test your limits, it's another for a child to find those limits, and then keep going with no disregaurd for anything. I don't think it's a phase, this is something she has always done since I've ever had to use the word no with her, (which wasn't until she was almost 2 years old.) It just gets worse, as she finds more things to get into, or more things she shouldn't be doing. She talks back a lot, she thinks saying "no" to me is funny. She's started to stall the going to bed process, which she used to love, for almost a year straight we had no problems. Now it's a fight almost every night. She asks for mini (her stuffed animal) we ask her to say please, and then offer it to her. Sometimes she say "no, no mini" and keeps on doing this with several toys she SAYS she wants. Now we just give her one shot, and if the turns down the teddy bear she said she wanted, we tell her "ok, you had your chance for your teddy, but you didn't want him." We say good night to her, and then leave the room. She is a consistant whiner, and it has been this way since she learned how to speak more words then just "momma". She could spend her whole day asking for or demanding chocolate milk, and never give up on it. She'll cry, whine, ask nicely and sometimes she even gets this very mean face and angry tone of voice and say to me "I WANT my Chocolate Milk!" Or any object that she wants, really doesn't matter. Both sides of her family from her mother and her father have emotional disorders, I suffer from many myself. I do not know if she has any, and it's not a garunteed thing, though some are believed to be hereditary, however I have been told that you don't start seeing signs of emotional disorders until they are about 5 years old, like school aged children. Please I'm really desperate, my mother lives very far away and I don't have much guidance other then what I find online or in a few books.

When I try talking to her, she almost has this smirk on her face like, "your boring, and I don't have to listen to what you say."
She thinks saying the word please will get her anything under any circumstance, and if it doesn't, then she feels it's time for whining or a tantrum.
There is lots of things she does on a daily basis, I'm trying to remember them as I go along.
