I have 2 x Ds, eldest is 6 next month and is a joy to be around, youngest is just turned 3 and although I love him to bits I find it difficult to like him atm. He is so willful, feels like he is constantly hitting, spitting, being rude and not listening to instructions when we are out, its got to the point where I won't even ask my mum to look after him unless it is really necessary. Because he so full of beans all the time people have started to comment (light-heartdly)on him being 'a monster' and 'I bet he's a handful' and I'm worried that I am starting to always see the worst in him. I let my husband deal with him most of the time as I feel like I just can't cope with him, but at the same time feel guilty for this and almost feel sorry for the lad. He is starting fulltime school nursery in Sept and although he has been fulltime at a childminders since 3 months, I am worried his behaviour will see him branded as a 'problem child' Has/Does any one else feel like this? This is the first time I have used MN.!!
