This is my first post on mumsnet, as I'm at my whits end. I have two DS and one DH. My eldest DS was three last month, my youngest 14 months. My recent problem is that I seem to be the target of sheer violence off the 3 year old, ranging from biting, kicking, scratching to mind games and defiance. I keep reminding myself that he's only a baby and I am firm but fair, by disciplining him the same every time (Time out in room).
He was a model Gina Ford baby, routine established very quickly and he was always the most contented child. Now he is hurting me and his brother to the point where I just end up crying. He does not however hurt my DH; DH therefore does not discipline him in the same way as me. I don't want to cry anymore and I want to feel in control again. Does anyone please have any ideas?
