I know he is getting sick of being at home with me everyday but we cant do much outside or go to tje park its 110+ sooo should i use ORGANIC soap or hot sauce. I know it will only ne temporary unitil his behavior hets corrected. He catches on pretty quickly. Oh ua i also take toys but now he tells me he has more in his room.
I'm sorry but my stomach hurts just thinking of this. To answer your question, you should do neither. What a terrible thing to do to a child and I couldn't care less that it's organic or not. A woman was reported on Dr. Phil for using similar measures on her son and I couldn't even watch the tapes it was so terrible. I beg you to reconsider this.
I've never done anything remotely close to this and my kids are disciplined and treat me with respect. Spanking as a general use of discipline usually won't work because they just get immune to it. I hate the idea of spanking but if you use it, save it for BIG stuff (like life threatening stuff).
For screaming or speaking disprespectfully, keep putting him in timeout. Let him spend all day there if he has to but he WILL learn IF you remain consistent. If he's yelling in your face, remove him. You don't have to sit there and be his verbal punching bag, he's 3. Put him in a corner or his room.
If he's sassing you about having more toys in his room march him in there with a garbage bag and let him watch you pack up every last toy he owns and he can earn them back with respectful behavior.
Discipline is about teaching, not bullying. I'm sorry but the hot sauce/soap method just seems cruel to me and I can't imagine being intentionally cruel to my own child.

parenting is HARD work. it's the job you signed up for and your son deserves the effort. he's worth the effort. you can quick fix this but he's only going to get bigger and stronger and smarter. do it right the first time and you won't be kicking yourself when he's 8 or 12 or 16.
pack them all away and make him a reward chart. for every 5 stickers he gets 1 toy back or whatever. it's exhausting, I know. i had a toddler while pg. have a long talk with your hubby about your son's behavior and the plan of action. then, when your hubby is home, take a break and let him take over BUT he has to be on the same page as you. your son needs to see a united front and that will help in the respect area.

Both are illigal, and considered child abuse.
also, give yourself permission to let the housework go for a bit. you are 8 months pg! your most important job is preparing that little man for a successful time in the world and the dishes are not important right now. your hubby needs to pitch in in that regard and now your #1 priority is that little boy.

My DD gets sent to her bedroom, where there are no toys when she's disrespectful to me. She can be angry and yell, but not at me. I wouldn't use soap or hot sauce, ever. I'm sorry.

How did you break your kids of the bottle?
