Generally, my response to that is the present age. Each year something new has popped up and most of the time the previous annoying behavior has not left. He is five now. The latest thing is crossing his arms, sighing/grunting loudly, stomping a foot, and rolling eyes when he is angry or displeased. He still throws tantrums (started at 18 mos), doesn't listen (began around 2), is disrespectful (began at 3), and wants his own way (consistent since 2 or 3). At four he just became more strong willed. Oh, and now he covers his ears when I say things he doesn't want to hear!
So, what about your son?

I would say that last year when he was in 1st grade was our hardest. He's something else now-- and I was tempted to say now...but compared to last year, this is easier. Last year he was still in public school which he didn't jive with , being bullied and just having a hard time all the way around.....
My son was horrible at age 2 and 2.5 then when he developed his communication skills it got much much better. But now new problems aroused. Like girls. LOL believe it or not he has a girlfriend in kindergarten and he keeps taking gifts of toys for her and it's getting to the point of them having little arguments and stuff. OMG what I got to look forward lather I am already scared.
The hardest year for my son I think is this year,the 4th grade.The work at school is more difficult and he has been feeling the pressure big time.Oh no and it's only going o get harder! lol
He also is trying to fit in more like the older kids so he wants more expensive clothing and nic nacks and we can't afford it.So that really bums him out.
Well, I thought the two's were terrible but my ds has become a teen and now he has an attitude. Frankly, I'm not sure which is worse. lol
For sure Teen years. With High School needs, girls, getting older & independence. I mean, he is a great kid & no where near some of the horror stories I hear about teens. But it is just alot more drama especially when girls get into the mess.
