I am in a rush but would like to comment fast.

Have youhad kitten to vet?
Is she spayed?
Is she vaccinated?
Is your dh cleaning the litter box?
Is kitten tested for worms?
Do you have 1-2 scratching posts for her?
DO you have toys for her, my favorite is a sock monster(i call it) , it is all of your old socks inside one or two socks and tied up together and she gets to play with it all day?
This is a kitten and will act like a kitten.

i have to go for now.

Your kitten isn't "mean", she is a kitten, and is young and energetic, and probably bored. You need to allow her to be a kitten, spend quality time with her in playtime, bonding, give her interesting (but safe) toys, interact with her and her toys, etc.

What method(s) are you using to "train" her? Are you being agressive with her? Are you reprimanding her for no reason? Again, you need to understand she is a KITTEN, and she needs to expend energy, as all kittens do.
