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.
