He is 4.2 and nothing is ever right with him. I can almost guarantee that any conversation (no matter how 'light' the topic is) will end in him crying because something wasn't right/it was not what he wanted etc.
Example today...I picked him up from nursery and was chatting in the car about getting home to wrap up DH's presents for tomorrow. DS2 asked me what I had bought for DH so I told him. He started crying because I hadn't got DH any swimming trunks (wtf??) and cried and whinged all the way home.
It is really getting me down - he is such a lovely, imaginative, funny boy when he is in a good mood but they are very few and far between and I almost daren't open my mouth around him as it just ends up with him getting upset.
Any tips on what to do? I try and ignore/place him in another room until he stops with the whinging and crying but it doesn't seem to be working.
