Hi, I've lurked on here for a long time but never posted and right now I feel like I don't really know where else to get advice. My son is 3 - nearly 4 - and I really struggle with him, he's 'strong willed' , never listens/does as he's told, everything is a battle, even getting him dressed takes forever as he just refuses and has a tantrum. He doesn't respond to any kind of reasoning, naughty step, even bribery !! I have found myself with less and less patience every day and I just end up snapping at him. My husband and I end up arguing because every day is so stressful and it's to the point where I dread the weekends because I know it will be two full days of stress and arguments. I'm starting to worry our marriage will suffer because of the stress of it. It's been like this for months and his naughty behaviour is constantly out weighing his good behaviour. We've tried reward charts, stickers, ignoring the bad and praising the good and I just don't know what else to do! I don't know if it's normal behaviour for a three year old or if we're doing something wrong and even though I love him with everything I have AIBU to really not like him to the point i feel like walking out ? He can be the sweetest most affectionate boy when he wants but when he's being horrible it's unbearable. Sorry if that's really long and rambling
