[QUOTE="stressedmama, post: 645014, member: 18412"] That's sweet! Yes, some of those Nick Jr and Disney shows can certainly keep their attention! When difficult child was home but I was watching him, GS was the perfect angel. No whining, he accepted "no", etc. If husband walked in the door, GS would get a little whiny but not bad. husband caters to and enables GS, too. If I said no, he would go to husband because there was a chance he would get a different answer. When difficult child walked through the door, hold the phone! GS would go straight into meltdown mode. He would have potty accidents, yell, tantrums, the whole thing. Attention seeking. Total transformation. husband has gotten a lot better about backing me rather than giving in. As time goes by and we are the only one's taking care of him, he's getting more into the tantrum thing with us. He just doesn't get the attention he wants out of them. Family Guy..."Ignore the child!" Hate that show but the one portion of the one episode I ever saw was about kids throwing tantrums and the counselor kept repeating that LOL. He's gotten very used to me asking if we are going to do things the easy way or the hard way. That usually turns him around pretty quickly. It has a lot to do with the age, too. In my experience, 3 was always worse than 2. Whiny is just part of the age. Connor seems like such a happy boy. He is so loved. We all have good days and bad days. We just take the whiny with the smiley!! You're doing great with him! I forget...what's he calling you now? [/QUOTE]
