I am aware how bad this sounds but he's being SUCH a shit I am really struggling today. it's like he is deliberately trying to provoke me he just pushes and pushes until I can't stay calm. I've just made him a drink and offered him 2 biscuits, and subsequently agreed he could have 'just one more'. Sat down to feed the baby and he goes for the biscuits insisting he's having more. My staying calm, saying no, counting etc did nothing apart from getting a gleeful grin off him. To my shame I then resorted to wrestling the biscuits off him. He went back for the tin so I yelled he wasn't having biscuits EVER AGAIN and sent him to sit on the step. I really shrieked. I just got rage. Sounds so stupid over a custard creme, but I just don't want him to think he can walk all over me.
So then he was in tears but refuses to stay on the step to give us both time out. I went upstairs to calm down but he just follows me around wailing. I locked me and the baby in the bathroom and he just stood outside yelling and hammering on the door. This cannot be normal!!!! This is just one example from a whole day of incidents and similar over the past weeks. I tried to talk to him calmly afterwards, if just escalated again because he insisted he was 'in charge' and that he would just get daddy to give him a biscuit later.
I'm actually sick of him and can't enjoy his company at all anymore because he always spoils it by twatting around. It's like if he gets a sniff that something annoys me he will put all his effort into doing it. Eg I asked him nicely to not climb on me / pull at my clothes, that's all I get so I end up getting off the floor and moving. We could have just played nicely and he could have got lots of attention. I just don't understand him at all.
I am clearly doing something very wrong
