I'm at the end of my rope with my son- everyone tells me how well behaved he is when they look after him, and how he's listened really well and played nicely- but with me he just doesn't.
He runs off, doesn't listen to anything I say- no matter the tone. I've tried everything- he laughs in my face, it's like he deliberately wants to wind me up. I've tried the gentle approach, the cross approach, the everything approach
He's super over excitable and full of energy all the time. I keep him busy- indoors, outdoors- swimming , martial arts. Let him have chill days if he wants them. Read with him. I just don't know what to do anymore . Does he just hate me?!

Hi, I’ve got exactly the same issue with my son who is 2.5, trouble is, I have it more so with my 12 year old!! He has never ever listened to anything I have said or asked him to do, but he literally shits himself if his big sister (24) even just looks at him but my god as soon as she’s left the room or even more so when she’s gone to work, he must think ‘and relax, it’s just mam now’ 😡
