DS. We have survived the "NO" phase and now he has moved into the "completely ignoring me" phase. Although I am not sure if it is a typical "phase" or him acting out as a reaction to the baby?
It's so rough. We are not over the top with rules at home but he is constantly doing the few things he isn't supposed to be doing - like throwing his food on the floor or playing in the sink (flooding the bathroom).
The worst part is that he has started running away when we are out. He has always been so great about holding my hand and staying close but he will pull away now and just take off. He has a bruise on his arm where I had to hold on to him REALLY hard at the mall last week. His alternative is lying down in the middle of the street / store etc. No just walking nicely any more. He won't go in a stroller or shopping cart. I'm at a loss what to do. It's becoming impossible to go to the store. I'm nervous about taking him to the park without a friend to help. I always have DD strapped to me so it is really hard to run after him and/or peel him off the floor. And he just COMPLETELY ignores me.
I would rather potty train a dozen kids than go through one more day of this.
Advice/BTDT stories much appreciated.
