Hi,
I am new to this site. I have a 4 year old son who drives me and my husband crazy. He doesn't listen to a word that we say. He is always yelling at us i've tried all techniqies(sp) of discipline and he gets so angry and if he doesn't get his own way he throws the worst fit, he screams at the top of his lungs and jumps up and down and gets very mean. I think he likes to make us mad i think he likes getting into trouble he knows how to press my buttons and makes sure he does it all the time. He has pretty much been this way since he was 2, i had to leave work when he was 2 because is daycare lady couldn't handle him, i thought he was just going through a stage and by the age of 4 he would be grown out of his "mood swings" or that we have spoiled him,He is just so disrespectful to everyone not just me and his father to any adult and child, he doesn't share toys and when someone picks up a toy he automatically wants it and will fight with the other child to get it, and when you try to explain to him that he can't do that he throws a major fit and gets angry and sometimes will get physical then too, it's almost like he is stuck at the age of 2. at this age i thought that he would be trying please his parents and help them out but he doesn't want to do anything for himself or anything for my husband and i and seems to care less if we are happy with him or not. Other people don't seem to enjoy being around him because he makes them so unhappy also, then only people that he gets along with are the ones that show him attention constantly and give into his requests there is one little girl that we will play so well with and i think it's because she lets him tell her what to do. He runs our house hold i can't believe i let it get this far, but i don't know where i went wrong either. So if any of you have any suggestions please FEEL FREE. THanks
