Subject: Ends? The summer before Kindergarten. Starts up again?

The first 2 months of Kindergarten... then it's, pretty much, gone. Sure, there are those 'moments' when you look a him and think, 'well, if I kill him they'll come after me and he IS funny....'. Just set YOUR boundaries, don't be bullied by him for HIS results and hide in your bedroom. I found that taking him to parks and making him run laps helped a lot at that age. They can't scream at ya when they're gasping for breath (jk...sorta). We also moved and 'got' a pool that year... ds spent the 'beligerent time' swimming... a lot. LOL.

It will pass... I promise. Just keep your sanity anyway you can. And NEVER be afraid to just 'leave' a store/party/house whatever when the attitudes come... having a direct consequence that is NOT NEGOTIABLE is the fastest way to end the 'bratties'.
