Hugz mama. It must be your hormones too making you feel this way. Eventhough they can't speak well, they understand and they will not listen to your instruction because they are testing their boundary. Checking how you will react if they disobey you. Be firm and consistent. I don't hit my kids because I don't believe that this will work in the long run and will just give them an excuse that violence is excusable. But hey, I have nothing against parents who take this path to discipline their kids. What you can also do is gauge your kid's mood. Maybe he is feeling tired or frustrated, take him out of any situation that might aggravate his bad mood. If the cousin does not want to share, then take your child out from this situation and try to engage him with another toy. For me it's best to avoid than to confront. And I'm sure other moms will understand you. The parents in this forum do :-)
