[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 711728, member: 11832"] Welcome, Christina. I recommend that you change your screenname to something more private. This forum gets a lot of viewers, and it's important to protect your privacy. I seriously doubt that you did anything to cause your son to behave this way. My son has never been what I would call compliant. He is a free thinker and has always refused to do as I asked. The upside to that is that he knows his own mind. The downside is that parenting a kid like that is really tough. Battle after battle after battle. I will give an example from my own life. My neighbor has a son 6 months older than mine. We were speaking about our boys who were 3 years old at the time. She was telling me that her living room was off limits to her son. "He has to learn not to touch things." I didn't have that type of kid. My kid was into everything, even stuff he wasn't supposed to get into. I put everything I valued into the attic. Two different kids - two different parenting styles. What helped me was a book called [U]The Explosive Child.[/U] It helped me to assess my priorities and decide which battles were worth fighting. [/QUOTE]
