My almost 3-year-old son is constantly complaining. And it is not new, it’s been like this since day 1. It is not terrible twos or threes. We don’t give in to crying, if he does something he’s not allowed, we give time-outs. We don’t have a very long list of rules, just basic ones like don’t hit people or throw things.He is always crying or complaining when it is bot in his way, or sometimes even when it is his way. Funny that when he falls or hurts himself, he doesn’t cry. He doesn’t have any medical conditions, he’s ahead of his peers developmentally. He’s very social and likeable with other people and he’s a people pleaser with them.Ever since mom told me I was not like this, that my son is more demanding in a different way ( I was a hard child also because I was very independent), I just became less patient with my son. Maybe before I was thinking all children were like this?I am tired of waking up to complaining and going to bed with complaining. My head is about to explode. We send him to another room (not time-out) if he doesn’t want to eat and starts crying. Or I leave the room we’re playing in if he doesn’t like something and starts crying. We’re tired of hearing him cry.I am also pregnant, that may have changed my patience levels also. Can you suggest me ways to cope with this situation? I know he is a child. I know my husband and I should be able to steer him in the right direction. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2KDfPby
