Not gonna be much help here. Sounds like you are doing all you can.

One other thing I do is ignore DS until he asks nice. For instance, if he is having a fit because he wants to play with a certain toy I tell him that he has to ask nice, no whining, no crying. It helps. At least he knows how he is supposed to ask.

When I get frustrated, I remind myself that he is doing the best he can.

I know its exhausting sometimes. And I hate feeling like I am the mean mom (and dad is the nice dad). All you can do it try your best and pick your battles.

Hang in there. This too shall pass.
