Mean Mommy Needs Help

lol…
My 4 year old (Little Man) soon to be 5 year old in 2 weeks has turned into a little meany in the last two days. I don’t know what is going on. I understand the occassional misbehaving but not daily all day long where it never stops and it hasn’t stopped for two days and I’m going crazy… I know it’s all about his baby brother. Little man thinks he can play with and aggravate baby man like he is his age. I’m terrified that the baby (baby man) who is 19 months old will get hurt again since he recently just had stitches!
Yesterday when I told little man to stop he didn’t listen so I told him to go to time out. Well he decided he wasn’t going to time out either and had a major screaming meltdown (I’m sure many of you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about and if not HELP me). So we took his favorite toy away as punishment for a week. Today was the same. I feel like all I have been saying all day is don’t do this, don’t do that, stop it, your getting ready to go to time out, etc, etc…
Now I’m just tired. I hope this comes to an end soon. I wish I wasn’t so uptight about our baby man but I’m so afraid that he will get hurt. He enjoys his big brother so much and he laughs and plays right along with little man most of the time. It’s just that I’m afraid that one of them will end up getting hurt. I also never thought that a 19 month old and a 5 year old wouldn’t get along. I figured that was reserved for the older years..lol…I guess not..
Advice? Nah, forget I asked..I dont need advice..I’m afraid of what I might hear…
A question for you…How many of you have gone through this?
