[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 61926, member: 3930"] Thanks for the responses. He has never been evaluated. His pre-k teacher suggested we go to counseling and also talk to his pediatrician. We have not done that yet. No real health problems. He used to get sick alot (colds/congestion/allergy type illnesses) when we lived in AZ, but now that we are in WA he rarely gets sick. Some depression on my side of the family, not sure about Hubby's side. As far as developemental disabilities; my brother had learning problems in school with reading/writing. My husband has mentioned some behavior problems that he had when he was a child but really doesn't elaborate. Would my first step be to make an appointment with our pediatrician, or call for counseling? Or some other evaluation? I just fear that if we wait any longer to get a handle on this - it is going to be more difficult if not impossible. I guess I kept thinking he would grow out of it. He gets so frustrated when people don't do what he wants them too. With the little girl that was here he would tell her what to do and when she didn't do it he would scream at her and then she would get scared and then we would tell him that she was afraid of him and then he would cry and I could tell his feelings were hurt because he didn't want to hurt her, he just wanted her to do it "his way". It breaks my heart. He is demanding and talks to us with total disrespect. He orders us around and demands things. He never does what you tell him to do. He seems so stubborn and strong willed. Everything is a battle. There seems to never be a smooth moment. I am exhausted and my marriage is suffering. I also feel like I don't get to spend enough time with the baby because I have to deal with him so much. Thanks again for the replies. [/QUOTE]
