my 4 year old is acting up...

Lately yes been out of control. He could act so nice and sweet to me at times. But he has moments where he drives me completely insane!  He won't listen to me and he's such a cry baby. He doesn't like no one but me to even touch him. If someone does touch him he starts throwing tantrums!  Its driving me crazy, idk how to deal with him anymore? :/ what can I do... is he acting thus way because I'm pregnant?

My baby is only 10 months and she's been acting up. I don't think it's teething Cause she usually bites everything and,her cry is very different. Now she throws tantrums where she slams,her arms on the floor and rolls her upper body close to the floor. She wants me to,carry her if not shell cry and cry .. :l I think she,feels babys presence. Its so,weird though. She really wants me 24/7 and acts like,that only when I'm around. My,mother,took,care of,her for a little toda and she was fine.:o

That is a tough age because they do get jealous, have him help you out around the house with getting ready for the baby and make him feel like the super important big brother. When the baby comes, also make sure you take some time to spend with just him too, maybe have dad keep an eye on the baby one night and take him for ice cream. Just remember its tough on him, for his whole life you have been his mommy and now he needs to share you with another little person
