(her) Action and (your) Re-action, mate.
If you eventually give in, or concede some ground it proves that tantrums work.
Boundaries and consequences.
For historical reference only and not that I condone that sort of thing at all...
but back in the day you used to get told if you keep on screaming for nothing you'll get something to scream for...usually involving a couple of slaps around the back of the legs ?

I'm no parent. As much as I wish I could offer hope that this is just a stage, or that there's a reliable solution, I just don't know anything about it.
I have two recently-born nephews and now both my brothers-in-law are miserable as hell, because both my sisters-in-law have morphed into some kind of weird mashup of "maternity leave Barbie" and rabid hyenas, who believe not only that breastfeeding is the single most virtuous activity on Earth, but also that ALL other activity is part of a global patriarchal conspiracy designed to cast slurs on breastfeeding mothers. Witnessing the negative impact these developments have had on my brothers-in-law has significantly put me off having kids.
So my advice is entirely internet-based, and focused on minimising ongoing harm to you: South African boarding schools are very keenly-priced.

@Oddball is a Father of the Year, pity he can no longer post here. He had some very unorthodox but effective approaches to parenting
You only have to read about them mate. Think yourself lucky!

Sounds like you've got a defective one. Stick her up for adoption and get a new one.
If the baby is restless at night then it could be affecting your daughter's sleep. If she's suffering from sleep deprivation then that could be a contributing factor.
Trouble with kids that age it's often difficult to tell if they're sleep deprived as they have energy to burn and appear lively but be mentally tired which only shows when something flips the tantrum switch.
Without a doubt. Our son was/is so laid back he's nearly horizontal, except where Everton are involved. lol
Nothing worse than those parents that act like they're the only people to ever have had kids. Act like the world should revolve purely around them, someone knocks on their door in the middle of the day and they'll abuse them because they should know it's the babies sleep time etc, this has been several of my mates and their wives over the last few years.

My son (8) also does this, it kills me. Its like his self-esteem is rock bottom, and I don't know where it somes from because he's so loved and he's a great kid. He just struggles with big emotions and falls out with his friends a lot because of it. It seems there are loads of kids his age with problems because of the social development they missed because of the pandemic. His school is really struggling with it.
Sounds familiar.
My personal favourite so far has been the fact that neither sister-in-law can do anything else at all now "because the baby needs me"... And so my brothers-in-law get on with their day jobs and then do all the cooking and housework, only to then get criticised for "not showing any interest in parenting".
Then they attempt to get involved in parenting, only to be scolded mercilessly (in front of other family members) for "doing it wrong".
Madness. Although to be fair that's not the children's fault.
They cost so much bloody money. Go to all types of clubs and it’s driving me crazy.
