My son is just approaching 13mths and is driving me crazy. Since I have returned to work he has become so naughty! If there is anything at all around he shouldn't have (that is not much) he will find it. I spend all day telling him to stop it, put it down, no, and the list goes on.
We have locks on every cupboard and draw, there is the bare minimum in each room, anything else is stored out of sight or up high. However he still gets into trouble. He also has a temper tanturm when ever I leave his sight or go to do something. He wants me there infront of him watching him play all the time.
Smacking is the last resort and it is becoming a regular thing, as nothing else will work.
I want to enjoy the 3 days a week we have together without daddy, however I am now really looking foward to having time away from him and some days dread picking him up as he will start again as soon as we get home.
I know they love to explore at this age however I can't take much more! What happens when he is older and I can't control him? How can I stop him now?
