making a 2 year old frustrated

Hi,
I have a 2 year old son and he gets frustrated easily, which makes him a target of pranks. For example, in my parents house there's a small chair and my sisters would tell him to sit on it and while he's tending to sit they take it away (but making sure he doessn't fall). Then they'd ask him to find it and mislead him. At that time he would become frustrated they'll calm him down but as soon as he's calmed they wolud do anot`her prank. I'm wondering if he experience alot of frustrations and anger would that have a bad effect on him?

Maybe try talking about it beforehand one on one with the offending aunts.  I'm sure they mean no harm-----  but upon realizing they may be causing it, I'm sure they would stop.  It is okay to be a little protective of your child-----  they should understand and respect that.  Then they can dote on all of the super cute things he no doubt does!

thnx for your comment. I try to stop those jokes as much as I can, but I can't control their behaviors since he gets very angry at anything and starts to scream.

I don't think I'd like that for my little one.  I mean once is okay but to make the entertainment of the group-----  that is too much.  I remember vividly being asked to sing "rudolph the rednose reindeer" as a kid by my aunts (4 of them) and they would do things to make me mess up the words.  I got really upset.  It is like one of my only memories of them from when I was really little.  I'm not joking.  I remember things starting years after that-----  but just remember being so upset and mad at them.  

So, is it harmful? probably not----  but it isn't nice.  Who wants to be the butt of a joke?  Good luck.
