To think ds needs to learn how to respect stuff

AIBU to be so annoyed right now really need to vent as my husband thinks I'm overreacting as DS is only 5. Myself and my husband spent a lot of money renovating our house a few months ago. So far DS has taken a chunk out of our new wooden hall table by slamming the front door into it in a tantrum which we corrected him over. I've noticed his newly painted bedroom wall is destroyed with chipped paint which he is making worse by picking it constantly. I told him I won't be redoing his bedroom again for a long time and it can stay like that even though it bugs me probably more . The final straw now is I got my daughters nursery painted four weeks ago as we hope to move her into her own room in a week or two and he's after scuffing all one side of the wall with a toy. I'm absolutely fuming as I feel I'm constantly repainting walls and repairing stuff which costs money even if I go over the walls myself I still need to buy materials. Please tell me I'm not the only one. I don't expect a show house especially not with children but myself and DH saved for 5 years to get this work done and I just feel DS doesn't respect anything.

He needs to learn, I would be removing the toy that was used to scuff DD walls.

Saying you won't repaint his room won't have any impact on him. You need the consequence to be something he cares about. Every behaviour has a consequence.
