My 5yo is good as gold at school. Can have tantrums when with other family members, but only has mega melt downs with me. Example, I've given him a 15, 10, and 5 minute warning for bed time. He's wanting to carry on what he's doing (reading, playing with cuddly toys etc) so when I say it's bedtime now he kicks, spits, goes completely nuts at me. This is between 1 and 3 times a day. If he sleeps at my mums house or my sisters house they have no problem at all. I'm a very calm and composed person, I'm kind to him but firm when I need to be. I've read every adhd book under the sun and followed the common advice (he's suspected to have it). But, it's like he hates me, for absolutely no reason. He wouldn't dare do this with his dad (who he sees every other weekend for a day). I'm lost. I actually dislike him sometimes which is horrible. He was good as gold until 3. Have I any hope of this getting easier or do volatile 5yos tend to continue on that path for a while? I need a light at the end of the tunnel.
