DS2 has always been challenging to say the least, thought I'd cracked it when he was 2.5 but now he is waking more, shouting for me, whining, kicking the wall, and whinging and screaming. Its all become a complete stress for us, after soothing, followed by firm no's, shouting and picking him up and getting him to fall back asleep on the sofa.
Hubby has no patience at all and is losing it followed by me!
Some nights he wont settle to bed, gets up, runs up and down, plays and is generally naughty while keeping up DS1. Believe me we are very firm but he just doesnt care, it just goes over his head.
Its also spoiling our relationship. I find spending time with him a complete nightmare nothing like DS1. Will add that he is very bright, happy (when not in a complete fit), extremely healthy and well
Any ideas or pointers much appreciated.
