Hi everyone,

I'm a fist time poster but a long time lurker.

So basically myself and DH have one DC. DC was a relatively easy baby, slept from 6 weeks and is generally a great child.

Lately I've noticed a change in DC behaviour, throwing tantrums, shouting, throwing things, just being really disobedient, if asked do anything nearly doing the opposite. For context I am the bad guy as such in the house, I've always laid down the law when need be.

One GP in particular acts like DC is theirs, which really really f**cking frustrates and infuriates me, for example if we vist before dinner and DC wants treats, I will say no or we can have treat after dinner, GP goes on ahead and gives DC treats, tells me I'm cruel etc etc. This is just a taster of what happens, I always leave feeling absolutely shit and angry. It's getting to the point where it is causing problems in our marriage. I just can't stand it anymore. DH just doesn't listen or understand how I feel. I just really want some advice if possible? I just want to rule out that my DC doesn't have a behavioural issue, it's the fact that said GP does whatever the F they like regardless of what I say!

How old is DC? That would help.

All toddlers go through stages of testing boundaries. There's also so much developmental stages they go through that you'd be extremely lucky if they're behaviour was constantly good as they grew up.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your response! DC is just over 3. Its just I've noticed the change recently and I can't understand what causes the tantrums etc. I know I can't expect a toddler to be as good as gold but he normally isn't as defiant as this. It's just frustrating, I feel like I'm failing:(
