Have a look around some of the parenting sites, they are full of mums saying exactly the same thing. Separate rooms used to work for my two when they were at that stage, but G is older than B so she understood and grew out of taunting him quickly. She now likes to manipulate him, bending him to her every whim. So she's ALL grown up now, and female. It's hard all round, just try not to slam too many doors or lose your voice through yelling. You're nearly there. <'> >< <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eva Report post Posted January 4, 2008 Hi Hev, I am going through this too! M who's 4, likes to wind up J (AS, 6), so he might say 'you're a liar' (without really understanding what he's saying) and J gets all upset and yells back at him and M says it again and then J hits him....and so the days go on, and on... Then M gets all upset over some issue, and his whingeing would reduce anyone to tears. We're on holidays now and I have 3 weeks left of this! I feel your pain.
