My 3 year old is simply just horrible at the moment 😢😢

My son was 3 a few months ago, and the last few weeks he has been absolutely horrible to put it simply.

He attitude and behaviour is just horrendous and I am seriously loosing the will to live. I have a 5 month old which makes thjnf even more difficult. I don't think the baby is the issue as to be honest he is not at all jealous of her and is very good with her.

He just constantly shouts, screams when he does not get his own way
Constantly argues back to me and his rather
Throws the biggest tantrums over the smallest things
Screams for no apparent reason and quite frankly is jsit horrible to me and his dad (more so me as I am with him more)

When is he with my parents he is absolutely fine

He started nursery in September so I'm not sure if this is the issue, although his behaviour at nursery is also fine

I'm sure this is standard 3 year old behaviour but I am seriously struggling right now 😭 sometimes I literally sit here a cry with the stress of him

I've tried being calm and talking to him, I've tried time outs, I've tried to screen times, I've tried bribery but everything only seems to work short term

Any advice on how to deal with this would be much appreciated

He has always been a typical boy since a baby but is usually a kind caring boy as well, but I really am struggling with this new 3 year old stage

OP no advice but I’m in a similar boat. DS 3 next month and have a 3 month old.

DS has been tricky since about 2 but worse recently and like you I’ve tried avenge of different strategies with no real success.

He is a lovely boy a lot of the time but when we’re out, trying to do nice things for him, he often just doesn’t listen and acts out. Making life really hard with him & newborn but can’t stand the thought of staying at home with them all day.

im certain the baby has something to do with it. He’s mostly lovely to baby but will ask me to put him down and carry him often, or similar things and scream when I can’t.

Any advice appreciated (probably 🤣)
