We have 2 DS, one who is 3, one is 3 months. 3 year old is boisterous and strong willed, doesn't like doing as he's asked. He's hard work tbh and does seem naughty compared to other children but he has only just turned 3 and does have a new brother. I still believe he's doing ok and doesn't have 'something wrong with him' ....DP does. He shouts, DS shouts, DP shouts more. I think he should lead by example and talk nicely then DS might behave better. He says I'm not coping and something needs to be done about our out of control child. I don't know exactly what he thinks should be done, so far it just seems to be yelling at him. I feel I am coping although not having a particularly great time. Weekends are much worse than weekdays because we all clash. It doesn't feel like a nice environment at the moment and all I want is for DP to talk nicely and respectfully to all of us and then do our best with DS. Call me old fashioned but I believe in being polite and respectful and he is neither of these things, especially to me and often in front of DS. Surely this will have a negative impact on his behaviour? I'm scared he's just going to grow up angry
