For the first 2 1/2 years of his life, my son was the absolute perfect baby and child. He did naughty things, don't get me wrong, and he has always been ultra-curious, but when we said "No", he understood, and stopped. I took him to every one of my OB appts. when I was pregnant, he was angel, the entire staff commented on how rare it was that a 2 year old behave so well. He would also never, ever go to anybody he didn't know well, i.e.: doctors, the grandparents who live out of town. Now, however, he is a different child. He will go to anybody, talk to anybody. He is so naughty at home, that I am at my wit's end sometimes. He is rude and obstinate. Now, I understand, that these behaviors are typical of 2 year olds, but not mine, at least up until 6 months ago. Which leads me to believe that having a new sibling has caused this. He is never naughty to the baby, and always gentle, he seems to love her very much. Any thoughts? Helpful hints? Thanks!
