I just want a rant really - DS is 2.5 and he's soooo loud, intolerant, moody, irritable and difficult.
DH is also struggling which says a lot as he's got the patience of a saint.
DS won't play on his own for longer than 2 minutes, if I leave the room for a wee I hear a shrieking whining sound.
He doesn't eat very well, he won't let DH and I talk to each other, he just speaks louder and louder until we tell him to be quiet and he'll scream NO!!!
He won't share with other children, like at all. If they go near him he screams or goes to hit them.(luckily I am usually on watch so this doesn't happen)
Underneath all this, occasionally, we get a sweet, intelligent, funny little guy. But right now we just see and hear mostly difficult behaviour.
I try to talk to him and explain things, I try to distract when a tantrum is coming, I also try to praise as much as I can when he's well behaved, which he loves.
I like to think I'm a patient and nice person but today I nearly got in the car and drove off down the road for a break.
For the record he goes to nursery 3 days a week and they don't seem to bothered with his behaviour.
Please tell me it gets easier at 3...
