I'm not sure the title is appropriate buts thats all I could think of!

DSS is starting to push boundaries and test to see where the limits are, which is fine but I am 4 months pregnant, I have a 6 year old DS and a partner who im now worrying about as suffered from Mania last year so there is a couple of anxieties that have come up around him, plus we are moving in a month!

Im probably just slightly stressed so this little issue with DSS is the cherry on the cake,

in the mornings, he is refusing to get dressed, when i call him he completely ignores me or just laughs and say's no! My DS is very good and will try to encourage him but then that makes me feel bad as my DS is just a child he doesnt need to be doing that, so I tell not to say anything and that DSS will watch DS's behaviour and learn from so he's being a good role model for him.

He will throw his food on the food and laugh, he will throw toys, hit DS etc...these are things that I thought I could cope with but I just cant seem to think of anything! to top it all of I suffering from horrendous migraines, which I have never had in my life!

anyone had a similar or has any advice x

It sounds like you are having a stressful time at the moment with everything going on.

Toddlers can be so frustrating can't they? I have to say your DSS's behaviour sounds normal to me (my 2y9m old won't get dressed in the morning either) so hang in there!

Oh my goodness, just read this back to myself and it doesnt really make any sense, apologies, must be my pregnancy brain :-S

Thank you, Iskra I think right now, i need a break from it all but thats not going to happen so i'll have to get on with it

Yeah OP, it's just toddler behaviour don't worry too much about it, it will pass.
At the moment my 2.6yo DS says NO to me before I even open my mouth to talk to him!
Good luck with everything!

Actually, I'm pregnant with DC2 & my toddler has been really trying my patience recently. I seem to be on a shorter fuse at the moment. I think it's hard! Good luck with it.
