My son has just turned 3 and has become increasingly badly behaved, and it's really getting me down. Primarily it's at nursery or when we're out/at friends houses etc, which the nursery teacher informed me was unusual as kids normally reserve their worst behaviour for when they're at home.
It's constant disobedience when we're with other people: he won't listen to instruction; will go/do where/what he's told not to. At nursery I'm told he misbehaves and then no matter how they try and deal with it, he just doesn't care and therefore the punishment is ineffectual and he'll be doing something else naughty within seconds. They're going to devise a chart to see how best to deal with him, as at the mo they don't know what is effective.
At friends houses or when we go out with others, it feels like he runs amok and returning from one of these outings I feel frazzled. I also have a 6 month old and when on my own without dh am limited physically with getting to him when he's doing something he shouldn't (and he knows it).
At home, he's by no means an angel, but generally is sweet, helpful and on the whole nice company. Why is he so awful when we're out??
