Kinda sucks, but you are the "boring parent" Lissa, because you stay home with him everyday... He's not going to treat Daddy like that, because Daddy is gone all day and he misses him when he's gone. He knows YOU are not going to leave him... So he's definitely testing you.

All I can tell you is you really need to get it under control now, because if he can control you at 2 or 3 years old, you are in trouble girl Imagine 16

I also think, when he's behaving badly, if he's not hurting you or himself, IGNORE ALL BAD BEHAVIOR. It is likely he has learned in his short life, that bad behavior gets your attention immediately... Kids don't care what kind of attention they get, as long as they are getting it.

Try really praising him for all the small things he DOES do right... Never give attention to bad behavior, the more of a reaction he gets out of you, the more he'll continue to do it.

Just my 2 cents, as a non-parent

Best of luck, and BREATHE, everything will be fine.

I always laugh when I see kids on leashes:

I always wonder if people looked at her funny when we were out. I understand why she did it though. I ran off on her once while we were shopping and hid in a clothes rack...I think I almost killed her that day

I see absolutely nothing wrong with harnessing active toddlers, especially in crowded public places, for safety sake.

I don't care. He ran out the door of a store yesterday. And he runs into the street. For his safety, he needs a leash.

He treats me like a dog so I'll treat him like one too.

I would totally do it if it was needed. I wouldn't be shocked at all if it's something I need to consider for Logan

I don't see anything wrong with a leash. Better to admit that your kid is wild than have your kid get lost or hit by a car, IMO.
