Okay, so I have two questions.

My son, he’s a year old and 9 months. He’ll be 2 in March. He’s starting to get into the terrible twos stage. He screams, throws nonstop tantrums over nothing sometimes, he doesn’t listen to me, and he hits/throw things at me when he doesn’t get his way. I want to get these under control before it’s too late. I’ve tried spanking (which i absolutely hated) and stopped. It made it worse and he’s still young. I tried tapping his hand, nothing. I tried giving him time outs. Still nothing. Ignoring him, nothing. It’s just awful. I’m a stay at home mom for now, and when my boyfriend is gone he’s 10 times worse. He listens to my boyfriend but not me. I’m home with him all day, most of the time and it’s frustrating. I don’t know what else to do. :(

Second question,

My son will not sleep in his bed for the life of me. I’ve tried and tried. His bed is at the end of ours, he always just crawl in, and I’m always half way off the bed. I never get a good night sleep.

I started co-sleeping him when he was a baby, I was 16 and needed sleep since I was a full time student. My boyfriend wasn’t in the picture until my son was 10 months, so at the time it wasn’t a big deal. Any advice? He won’t have his own room until the end of the school year. :(
