My son is in this stage where he is violent if he doesn't get his way. So I talked to his dad about it to see if he would talk to him and all he said was "he is acting up because of the baby" which is not true because he is excited. He just has this temper where he swings and punches me if I tell him no. Then he runs because he knows I am too damn pregnant to chase his ass. I am so pissed that his dad won't even acknowledge his behavior and talk to him. sorry to vent.

@boogersbugsanddirt, Thank you so much for all of the advice. I have three boys 8,6&5 and now I am having a girl and I am beyond nervous about everything. Maybe I am just overly paranoid.
Definitely sitting down and talking with him would help. I talk to my 4 year old all the time, especially because my boys are going through the let's fight over everything phase. It builds an amazing, trusting relationship. However, my oldest son is definitely going through the i hear you but I'm not listening phase. Kids will lash out and act when they don't know how to communicate their frustration or whatever they may be feeling. It will get better.
@boogersbugsanddirt, I will definitely try that. I just want to know what it going on with him. I feel bad for other people or are or did go through this. It's hard.
I understand, it's only me and my kids majority of the time. It's nice to know you're not the only one going through this, or that has been through this.
Honestly, I would try taking away tv time. Or maybe sit him down and try to tell him he's hurting your feelings. You know? Ask him why he gets so upset.
I know it's hard. It's a phase and will get better. You'll find something that works for y'all.
@boogersbugsanddirt, I appreciate all of the input I can get. It's helping me just having someone to talk to about it besides the walls.
@boogersbugsanddirt, Thank you. He is always saying good things about the baby and that he can't wait to have a sister. He was the reason why my fiancé and I decided to have a baby because he wanted one so bad or I most likely wouldn't have. I have never seen him act like this. I am due in 11 days and I don't know how to react to his behavior. He is 6 and I don't know how to punish him for this.
Just my opinion though. I know everyone's kid is different
My son, Blake, got like that when I was pregnant with Aaron. Towards the end too. While I do believe you're right, dad should talk to his kiddo but I also think he is right, he could be acting out. Blake was very excited the whole time I was pregnant with Aaron, just like they're both excited for their little sister.. But lately they have both been testing my patience. just do believe some of the behavior is really acting out. He should calm down after baby is born. Hang in there!
Nah, you're not paranoid. You're just a concerned parent. :)
You're welcome. Hang in there.
