Bárbara Evans, digital influencer and mother of Ayla, 4 years old, shared a vent on social media last Thursday (10) in which she stated she is at her limit and very tired. She said she has been facing frequent episodes of screaming, defiant responses, and tantrums from her daughter, going so far as to declare she feels the girl no longer respects her.
Bárbara's routine became heavier after she stopped relying on a nanny to help with the children's care. With her husband, Gustavo Theodoro, spending most of the day away from home, she reports having taken on a larger share of the responsibilities with the children and having little time to herself.
Bárbara's vent exposed an exhaustion that, according to the article, crosses many families: the feeling that, at a certain stage of childhood, every request can turn into a negotiation, every frustration into a crisis, and even routine situations require an extra dose of patience.
The article aims to explain why tantrums tend to increase around age 4, a theme indicated by the title. The piece suggests this is a common phase of child development that affects many families, not just the influencer's.
