My 3 yr old (4 in a few weeks) little cherub seems to be so insanely jealous of his little brother (just turned 2). His behaviour is driving me up the wall! He is so lovely when he is on his own or has my undivided attention but that is not possible all of the time. Whenever I turn my back he is doing all sorts of things to hurt/upset little bro. Taking toys, teasing him, hitting, pushing, pulling, generally winding him up. It is so draining and I am so exhausted from trying to deal with his behaviour that I often can't wait for his bedtime. Little one also has a very loud ear-piercing scream which doesn't help. Any advice welcome. I would really love to say I am enjoying being with them but quite frankly I am not
DS starts school in Sept and I know that the time goes too quickly etc etc and I should be making the most of this time but it is so hard at the moment that I can't wait for September!
