Everything is no and the opposite
Anyone else drained from it? Everything we say to do is ‘no’ and every time we ask him to do something it’s ‘no’ or we’ve done it wrong. Its constant tantrums. It’s getting to the point where he’s not nice to be around. I know it’s developmentally expected but he’s just becoming very bratty and I don’t like him sometimes. The gentle parenting technique is having no effect on him at all. We’re miserable on the weekends. I want to want to be around my child but he makes everything so hard.

My sister told me about giving them choices and it's worked for us. As in you decide what to offer them, just this/that but both things are things you're ok with. Like carrot or cucumber. Bing or Bluey. Just simple things.
Oh we're so in the middle of this too! Some days we get by ok but others I'm just totally drained.

You are just describing what is happening with my LO... It's so frustrating!! He stopped pulling hair but now has started biting... We have been referred to a speech therapist and probably a paediatrician as well...
