My 3 year old grandson lives with me via a child arrangements order since birth his mother lives a short distance away. Two years ago she was diagnosed with emotionally unstable personality disorder this makes life very difficult at times . My grandson is s lovely boy ,but recently has been having major temper tantrums and spitting he would argue black is white if he does not want to do anything i ask him he shouts and screams he has time out on the naughty step but sometimes this does not work .when he gets worked up he will say i dont want you nanny only granddad ,the next time he says it ,it could be the other way around!! My daughter is verbally abusive to me on many occasions in front of him at times i am so worried all this is affecting him
