Hey everyone! My name is Casey and i have a son who is 2 1/2. I could really use some help! For starters, I left his dad almost a year ago. So he is bounced around between me, him, daycare and anyone else his dad sends him too. Hes started being REALLY bad lately. Screaming at me, he doesnt listen, he thinks for some reason he should be able to sleep on the couch, so tonight he finally fell asleep on his bedroom floor. he just been very disrespect full lately. And hes been at his dads lately so i dont know if that has something to do with it or what. My current boyfriend and i live together. and he is at his witts end with my son. I cant take it anymore! Can someone help me please!

Just be consistent.... With so much turmoil, it's not surprising he'd be a little out of sorts. Although, at that age, that type of behavior is not out of the ordinary.

I would act up if I were him too. Kids need stability and consistency. The same rules you have at your house need to be applied at daddy's house and at day care as well. Maybe you could make him a chart so he knows the day that there is a star he's going to dads. When it's a heart he's staying with mommy, etc. I'm willing to bet he senses your bf's frustration with him.. yours as well. Try reinforcing good behavior. Keep things positive if possible.

Good luck, keep in mind he's a child and had his life dramatically changed a year ago. Be patient with him and try to keep things consistent.
