To think ds (4) is annoying

He’s lovely don’t get me wrong but he does seem to really enjoy winding people up. Standing in front of the TV when people are watching it, getting in people’s faces, shouting loudly and when people express that they don’t like it enjoys doing it even more …

I do kind of worry about it or is this just a 4 yo thing?

It's his age but also you need to parent the annoying out of him.

I do try but I feel I’m on him constantly which in turn I worry is damaging for our relationship.

My beloved 4 year old is intensely annoying. He constantly asks questions he knows the answer to then says 'what?' when you respond, like he hasn't heard, when he full well has. He also makes constant noise, ignores me when I'm speaking to him and is incredibly pedantic. I assume it's in the job description of a 4 year old 🤷🏼‍♀️

You’ve put my mind at rest!

All 4 year olds are annoying.

That’s kind of reassuring!

It's kind of a prerequisite for being four years old that you're also an annoying little git to some people (and naturally behave like an angel for Grandma so she mutters about you being too hard on him or some such).
