Keep losing my temper with 4 year old

My eldest boy is 4.5. He's a lovely boy, caring, affectionate, funny... I love him to bits. But he keeps being naughty & it's getting worse. Ever day he blows spitty raspberries right at you, he refuses to do lots of the things we request. He argues & tells me off, basically repeating what I say to him. He won't take no for an answer and goes on and on demanding things. He screams and shouts all of the time. In any given hour of the day we'll go from playing, laughing & singing together to screaming blue murder. I can't help but be outraged that he won't listen to us. I'm horrified by the way I speak to him & shout at him. I've said some horrible things and am terrified I'll make him have low self-esteem or hate me. I love him with all my heart but just have no patience left to calmy ask him to stop doing the same things on a daily basis. How do you manage your kid's bad behaviour without losing it? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you x

Hello hello
As someone who's been losing her temper with her own 4 year old today just a reminder that Mumsnet's raison d'ĂȘtre is to make lives easier and that what we can ALL do with is some moral support
PEACE AND LOVE, eh?
