Ohhh boy.... do they like to push you or what!!
My boy will be 3 at the end of November. He is very stubborn and has 'selective hearing'. He will just keep on doing what he wants until I intervine and put my foot down, and then has the biggest meltdown ever! I send him to his room and when hes ready to stop crying he can come out.
I agree with everything Tourbi said, dont back down! Ever! Always follow thru. You slip up once and you'll make a bigger mess. Its really tough. I really feel for the people doing it on their own, huge 'thumbs up's!' to you guys you sure deserve it.
My boy went to stay with his aunties for almost a week, and they spoilt him rotten and gave him everything he wanted, when he wanted it and boy am I having a hard time now!!
I cant believe how clever they can be at this age!! It is a wonderful age, but man talk about trying!
