How do you deal with a kid​ who is just not a good kid [2]

Not even sure if I need advice here. Mostly just venting and seeing if others are like this (which I am sure there. are many) and kinda how you got through it. My kid just turned 2 and he is a tantruming grouch. He has been a grouch since the day he was born. The amount of happy fun time we have probably equals 30 minutes a day. The rest is tantrums or saying no or just being god awful.Yes we do time outs (count to 3 then time out), play dates, explore things he likes to do, limit greatly TV time (to the point he doesn't think about it, its like once every 2 weeks). He eats VERY healthy at home. Slightly less at day care. Sugar is non-existent in our house. his language skills are developing, he's a smart kid and easily stands up to the level of his peers or passes them.I'n the morning he wakes up a grouch 80% of the time. This is followed by a rollercoaster of happy and and tantrum moments. Food thrown on the floor and collapsing on the floor. Going to the park usually involves stopping in front of someones house so he can just sit on the pavement and look grumpy. Eventually I have to pick him up. I used to pick him up and carry him to the park but I stopped because my back cannot handle it anymore. So we just go home.I've heard people say just ignore the tantrum. Don't give in. We don't. But here is the thing. The tantrums don't actually end. They will go on for an hour and keep going if we don't redirect. So we redirect and he is good for a while sometimes. Then something triggers him and it's on to the next disobedience and tantrum. He also has zero patience and gets frustrated the second he can't do anything.A lot of people tell me he needs a sibling. Maybe thats true, I don't know, but nothing he does makes me ever want to have another kid. I don't want to sound like a complaint millennial here. I know my duties as a parent and my wife and I will figure it out but man does this suck. "it's a phase" doesn't describe 2 years and counting. We talked to a therapist once. She said he was "spirited". Great. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2psQmZV
