patience with your daughter? Her rebellion may be related to the way she is treated. I’d work on my patience with my daughter and recognize yelling at her and slamming the door will do nothing to change her behavior for the good.

Been there man. I have found that kids are forgiving on these things.

If that's the worst thing you've ever done as a parent, you're doing pretty good.

So you were stern but not abusive? I say you're doing ok. 3 year olds can be the worst.

You weren't parenting a child - you were husbanding a wife. That's how it's done

I’m afraid I disagree with the responses here and I think that’s really odd behavior.

No big deal I say. She’s 3. She doesn’t deserve an apology and perhaps your door slam will make her think twice about

Mom stepped in, and I took a break to cool down. She fell asleep a bit later.
