3 year old son totally out of control
I am a stay at home mom with a big problem. I have two grown children that I never had this problem with. My three year old is out of control, and I have tried everything. He will not listen to me. He runs away from me in public places. More than once he has gotten away from me and gone into a street or parking lot. I was in an accident about 5 years ago and have lost 75% of the use of my hands, he has figured out that a simple twist and he can break free. He fights me when I try to put him in a cart at the stores, but will not stay with me if I let him walk. He has destroyed a lot of things in our house. When we discipline him, he just looks at us and laughs. We have tried everything from time outs to spankings and nothing phases him. I know he can behave. He behaves for my best friend when she watches him, but he won't for me or his father. Any suggestions before he gets hit by a car or someone snatches him in a store? I am 50 years old, and he runs faster than I can, I just can't keep up and it is killing me.
