I want reassurance that his behaviour and my feelings towards him are normal if possible as its new territory.
He's very bright with lots of energy but uses it to get up to mischief sometimes, he's got an answer to everything, can be manipulative + cheeky and just does what he thinks even after me + dp say no.
Consequences are 'time out' or losing a privellage. Which do work but he does push boundaries and gets me cross.
He's just very frustrating and I'm finding him annoying which I hate feeling. Is this a normal stage of development and does it pass?
I have a younger daughter (2yrs) and she's totally different in character, very determined but very loving and affectionate. DS is more self-contained and doesn't like too many cuddles, always has been that way. I'm currently pregnant and finding with tirdeness and hormones I'm not enjoying DS at the moment and feel guilty about my feelings towards him.
