Ever since he turned 3 he's been difficult to handle. He was an excellent baby, and slept well and he still does.
Now he wants to be naughty, he thrives by taking the p I s s. He is a late talker and progressing well but he's always taken his time with development.
He has ridiculous tantrums which I ignore as soon as we head home from nursery or playground. I hate when the neighbors sit by their windows and enjoy the show. I always ignore his tantrum and just walk away.
He refuses to independently feed him self with cutlery. If I don't feed him he won't eat and cries.
He likes to do high pitch screaming alot and is an inconvenience to go out with.
He starts reception in September, but the senco responsible wants him to start another school that's an hours walk from me, because she doesn't believe his future lays in their school. It's very difficult because I **cannot go for long walks in the morning with a tantrum prone child that will attend lessons in a grumpy mood.
He's aggressive at nursery, by that I mean he gets angry easily and throws toys around him. He has never hit or pushed or bitten anybody though.
Im a single parent, and I'm just fed up. It's hard for me to like my sons person cuz he's so trying. Sometimes I wish he was gone or was never born. My ex is an chronic alcoholic so the social would always be involved if my son would see his father. But no, we got no contact. And that chapter is closed.
So what should I do? Gag him when he screams? Lock him in a cupboard when he's naughty? Discipline will not get into his gold fish brain. It's same old, same old... lesson never learned.
