I am at the end of my tether. Honestly my little boy is just being completely hideous at the moment and I don’t know what to do about it.
There are 2 elements to it, firstly, he doesn’t seem to be able to get a handle on his emotions. He is getting so angry about things, throwing stuff at the wall if he can’t open it for example, instead of asking me to help. Similar behaviour if he loses a game on the iPad etc etc, kicking out, throwing his head back and almost having a toddler tantrum.
Secondly, he is constantly (and I mean constantly, all day, everything he does) doing stuff to get a reaction from me or DH. Doing the opposite of what he is told, no matter how simple the request.
He is at school and he doesn’t seem to be behaving like this whilst he is there. Equally he is good as gold for other people so I don’t think he has any underlying behavioural issues or learning disabilities.
Am I just a shit parent? I know everyone says they are always worse for their parents but honestly, I’ve never known any other child to be this much hard work.
