Kids of today acts like they're old. They talk like they already knew something. Actually it's nice as they are growing smart but if it's too much you have to really tell her what's good. It's not like you always have to bow down because she is your baby. She needs to know what is good and what is not.

I agree with other responders here. You have to stop this now before it gets much worse as she gets older. Your the mother, not her. You have to be more stubborn than she is which is much easier said than done. If that doesnt work ignore the behavior as in do not give her what she wants at all until she knows how to behave. If she throws a tantrum put her somewhere by herself and ignore her completely. This will take time but eventually she will learn this behavior will get her no attention at all which is essentially what shes probably doing it for...Hope this helps at least a little...
