First time at Disney with a 4 year old - tell me what to avoid!

We are planning on doing some sort of character breakfast, we can't do very many rides because kiddo is too small, I'd love to do Bibbity Bobbity Boutique and we are definitely doing Oogie Boogie Bash.

Welp, ditching tablets/phones from here on out

After my MIL let my 4yo play on her iPad (didn't even ask me first), LO became a whole-ass gremlin when it came time to go home. Screaming, demanding my phone, crying, ran away from me when we got home, just awful. Prior to all this, LO would hand me my phone back when asked, never overdid it, and would lose interest in most devices. The kicker is, the games/kid videos on YouTube allowed doctors appointments/meals out/WFH days tolerable when trying to keep her from losing her shit because my shit was already lost. It's now like Gollum with The One Ring! I'm bound and determined for this kid to learn to read because it'll just be BOOKS all effing day. I don't care if she's reading Hunter S Thompson or The Anarchist's Cookbook, just look at something other than a screen!!!!!

4 year old said, "Suck it, Mom!"

First off, we don't say stuff like that or let her watch anything with that kind of language. I think she picked it up from one of the kids at school. I did, think it was kind of funny but was shocked at the same time. How is everyone else's day going?

Am I raising a sociopath?

Since turning 4 my daughter has been absolutely awful. Hitting, throwing things, screaming, just all bratitude. After her fits she apologizes and blames it on missing her grandmother (who lives an hour away and comes down all the time) and started blaming it on missing her teacher who moved away. Getting her out of bed/getting dressed is a nightmare each morning. I just want to cry because I feel like a damn failure. She's a sweet kid otherwise, particularly when she's with one parent at a time. I haven't had any complaints from her school and her taekwondo instructor is very aware of her behavior (we have to keep a behavior report card at home). We're ready to start taking away toys/outings/everything at this point.

Husband keeps losing the battle with alcohol. I fear for our marriage

He's the best person when he's sober. He's the worst when he drinks. Please pray for him, for me, for us.

Please pray that my husband quits alcohol for good

My husband was close to 2 months sober but fell off the wagon. He's belligerent when he drinks and makes life miserable. We have such a good life when he's sober but when he's drunk he goes full tilt. Mean, drives, screaming, reckless, all of it.
