[QUOTE="RED777, post: 332481, member: 8767"] Hi, I'm also new to this site. I am a single mom of 3 boys, my middle child is the one that drives me nuts. He simply refuses to obey simple orders and instructions and really has a terrible temper when things don't go his way. Very resentful and angry too. If he is openly dissobeying me, he sometimes manages to SMILE at me in defiance when I loose my temper...I love him but he's impossible! He was always this way, even when he was only a baby, he's been screaming at the top of his lungs even before he learned how to speak. He whines and screams all the time to get his way, if I ask him to settle down he winds up, if I ask him to be quiet he keeps talking, if I ask him to brush his teeth he'll go to the bathroom and sit there for 20 minutes and not brush. He has a hard time getting out the door in the morning and makes all of us late for everything...I've tried everything from spanking and time out to simply hugging him, nothing works...I also believe he's gotten worse since baby #3 showed up and I can say he's like this 70% of the time. Now here's the catch...HE IS ONLY THIS WAY WITH ME! I can tell he wants attention but with 3 children, I need to give them all the same dose of love or all hell will break loose. Thanks for hearing me out.. [/QUOTE]
