My 4yr old Sag boy is driving me sideways insane

He's the 24th Nov and so strong willed, won't try new foods, its the same meal each night without a change up, potty training should have been easy, but he's now 4 but still has little "accidents" won't poop in the toilet still. And sleeping well that is just not on the cards, although I do have a strict bed time for him, but it's always 30mins more of him wanting to tell me a storey or just "1 more game" oivay.

Above everything above he's just so dam stubborn, it's his way or no way, I'm a libra mum, so I'm trying to find balance with him, he's personality seems to be getting so much stronger now, when he was a bub under 12 months and didn't talk it was FANTASTIC, he ate what I gave him and we played day in and day out, now I'm last on the list for a playmate if no one else wants to play, pfffftttt.

So any other parents out there with a Sag child, mainly male Sag child to give me some heads up on how to combat the terrible 4's, terrible 2's were a walk in the park compared to this age now.

welcome to parenthood.

my parents raised 3 sags. God Bless em.

i would rather raise saggis.

Saggis rule!!

Trick them.
Say bed times around 7-8 o' clock.
Tell him bed time is an hour earlier than that, that way he gets to be stubborn and try and stay awake etc, all the while he'll run around and use up the last of his energy in time for real bedtime, if that makes sense ?

I've been trying to find somewhere to see what he is exactly, he was born in 2006 year of the dog and he is showing loyalty beyond his years with his little friends at pre-school.

I know he has Gemini in there, and woah I think that's where he gets his active ways from.

supposably i was hard to potty train, and i dont doubt it since ive always hated being told what to do haha. if he wants to eat the same thing everynight, i dont see what the problem is, doesnt that actually make things easier? and you should try giving him a back rub to make him fall asleep..if youre using games and stories, youre just stimulating his mind, and thats not the best way to tire out a sag.

Don't get me wrong here with his eating, it's meat and 3 veg everynight with a full tub of yoghurt for treat's afterwards so he's definately eating well, I'd just would like to change it up for him, some salmon, chicken with the veges, and I've tried, even took tot's to the fish markets to pick out his own fresh fish and prawns, but tot tells me that, "you can't eat things from the ocean"—? My dad even took him fishing to show him you can catch and eat your meals...that crashed and burn't out really quickly as well.

I'm just worried about the nutrional value he's not getting, I have him on iron tablets because he doesn't eat fish, fish fingers or any fish related products.

I've not cut out the games, and we are reading over and over Daisey and the Moon storey as its about sleep time and he drifts off fast, it's just a matter of getting him into the room into his bed. It was all so easy before the age of 4, now I'm hidding my head against a brick wall these days.

Cancer bff has a Sag 5 yr old. He's also a rambunctious little one. They both have Gem moons. She likes that he keeps her on her toes but sometimes she gets so frustrated b/c the kid just won't listen. Thought maybe he had ADD, but he is a Sag afterall. 😛

We did his chart once - Merc in Sag (like his daddy lol that's why he says outlandish stuff sometimes), Venus in Cap, Mars in Taurus

I hear the not listening part, I repeat myself 3 to 4 times and tot's still doesn't listen, kindly advises me that he know's what he's doing 😢

Defiance shouldn't be frowned upon imo. 🙂

That's my belief system as well, and I use to win all the time, now it seems like he has worked me out and uses alternative methods just to push my buttons or to test the waters as far as he can until I lose my cool and start yelling just to get my point across.
