Why does my son only act out around his dad?

When I am spending one on one time with my son he’s amazing. Still misbehaves a little which is typical for any kid but when his dad is home it’s horrendous. They fight constantly and it stresses me out. I don’t understand why he’s so good for me but as soon as his dad gets here he starts hitting and being sooo naughty. Is this typical for kids? His dad works a lot. I think he gets excited to see him and that’s probably part of it.

Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. Why does my son only act out around his dad?

Has dad tried spending one on one time with the son? In a positive manner? Maybe if dad has more father/son days, the behavior might decrease. Son knows what to expect from mom because mom is a stable in his life. But with dad working alot, maybe son acts out to get the attention from dad that he doesn’t get as much.

Negative attention is better then no attention. Maybe he needs to spend more one on one time with him.

My son’s the same way with his dad and he is home everyday but I’d school’s out and it’s just me and my son he is perfect angel you would never know he was home come weekends or late evening he is a totally diff kid drive me crazy lol

He is doing it for his dad’s attention dad needs to give him that one on one time he needs his dad to

He’s looking for attention from his dad and negative is the easiest for most kids.

Sounds as if he needs father and son bonding time, maybe play ball or games together.

It’s the same with me. They’re great when I’m alone but the second dad gets home they’re bad and playing and destroy the house… Honestly idk why it’s like this but it is they’re even bad and talk back to me

How much attention does dad give him when he isn’t acting out? Dad needs to make more time for him.

Because negative attention is better than no attention, and he wants that attention from his dad.

Attention is attention for a kid. Dad needs to find the time to bond with him.

Attention seeking behavior. He wants more dad time and love and affection.

Dad needs to spend QUALITY time with the boy. Even half an hour outside tossing a ball back and forth or sitting the boy down and read to him.

Mine does that when she’s being ignored. So if he comes home eats the. Sits on the couch using his phone tv computer etc. your son is already in panic mode over getting his attention too. Tell your husband to come home and go directly to him and talk to him first for ten minutes. It could change everything. Sit on the floor at his level so he doesn’t have to compete with the top half of the world.

It sounds like he wants attention from dad. He’s doing whatever it takes to get the attention he’s wanting from him.

Sounds like the lil’ guy is jealous. Maybe start doing things together - like fishing , camping or even a picnic. There are things “ mom does” and “dad does” on these type trips that show interesting apart and together.

My daughter is like that too

Maybe sit your son down & ask him. With both of you there. And maybe each one spend some alone time & ask him why he acts this way

Your son is wanting attention from his dad and since the only attention he can get his negative attention that’s what he does

Also, are their personalities similar? I tend to clash more with the child who is most like me.

I want to share my great encounter with the great spell caster. Its happened When my Husband of 2years walked out of my life for the second time and I had a bad feeling that he was not going to come back to me. We were separated for about two years when I contacted pade okaka My mom told me that Dr pade okaka helped her lose a ton of weight and that they had love spells that could help me get my Husband back. I contacted him to help me bring back my Husband and I am happy now because my Husband ended up calling me 4 days later after Pade okaka have cast the spell, telling me that he needed me back in his life and asking if it was okay for me to come home. I have never seen this side of my husband before and I loved it! Our marriage is much stronger than it was before and I can’t thank Dr pade okaka enough for what he has done for me! I know there are a lot of people going through same problem but I will do you a favor by drooping his contact details because I know how it pains when you loss someone you ever love.

He can help you solve any can of problems

Definitely attention seeking behavior

He is looking for attention, my husband works 2 jobs and some days don’t even get to see the kids so on his days off they are way more rambunctious and want to stay in his face all day
