My DS has always been a stubborn mule, but lately he has been a total nightmare. He shouts, hits and tells everyone that they are stupid.
Biggest problem atm is his donkey-like refusal to walk when he doesn't want to.
He demands a "hug" which means that he wants to be carried.
He expects you to walk back to where he is and pick him up. He will not walk to you.
He doesn't want to walk around town and instead sinks down to the floor, arms folded and angrily shouts "hug!" at you.
Nothing seems to work and it is driving me and my DH insane.
You can't cajole him, bribe him, threaten him, etc etc.
He screams if you pick him up the wrong way and I am sick to death of giving in to him for the sake of needing to get home.
I need professional help.
