I'm at the end of my rope today!
I seriously don't know what to do anymore. DS is so out of control today that I can't even believe I'm having a second child. DS really has me regretting the decision to have another kid. I reallly wish this day was already over. I'm way too hormonal for this cr@p.

I know I have those days every once in a while. Not pregnant with #2 but DD will push me to the point where I rule out any potential for a second child!

Honestly its the age- DD is around the same age and is a NIGHTMARE. I actually told her to shut up yesterday which I NEVER do. She has me going nuts with the tantrums, not listening, yelling at me, etc.
My neice went through this stage a few months ago and now she is so much better.
It passes- its just really rough when you are pregnant.

We were out. That's the problem. Everything is a battle of wills with him. We met friends out for lunch. He hit me while we were waiting for the table. I told him not to hit me and if he did it again we were going home. He head butted me as hard as he could in the groin/belly. I almost doubled over it hurt so much. I grabbed him and we left. He begged for another chance, said he was sorry, blah, blah. I said this was his last possible chance. If he didn't behave we were leaving with no lunch. We get inside, he starts screaming he wants to go home.  He just wants to fight me. He calms down and sits with his friends and they're playing. He was trying to forcefully take things from their hands. I got the toys back and gave them back. Again with the screaming on top of his lungs.
That was it for me. I threw a couple of dollars on the table for his juice and we were out of there. he proceeded to scream and cry and carry on the entire ride home and then when I put him in his room. He told me to stop talking to him or he was going to hit me. I have never hit DS but I told him if he seriously hit me, he would be getting his first smack back. He knew I meant business because he layed down in his bed. Fuve minutes later he was passed out from all of the crying.

Re: I'm at the end of my rope today!
I can SO relate to what you are feeling! The only difference is my DS never went through that until now, he is 5 1/2 yo and just started Kindergarten. I was lucky in the sense that the terrible 2's and 3's never existed for us, DS was always a well behaved, sweet little boy, and while he still is for the most part, the not listening and outright defiance has me climbing the walls. To make it even harder, I am now a SAHM and 17 weeks pregnant with #2 also (another boy).
At this point, DS does not yell at me (thank god) but he does not listen to anything we say, or do anything we ask of him. We have to tell him things 10 times before he will do it, and even then it's usually after a time out or something getting taken away that he will oblige our request. He talks back and has an answer/excuse for everything. He gives me a hard time on brushing his teeth, getting dressed, going to bed, etc....just about anything and everything. I feel like the time out's are no longer working and I am at a loss as to what to do to change his behavior. I know it's just a phase but it's so frustrating, which is only compounded by the fact that I am prego, hormonal, and exhausted.
If you figure out any new solutions, let me know!
