My first thought on this was a horribly spoiled, ruling the roost, out-of-control Toddler.

My second child, first son, wasn't quite that bad, but he was a colicky baby and as shown on the livestream, a baby that doesn't like to be awakened. I always let him sleep until he woke up on his own, however, he would cry and throw a fit for the first twenty minutes after his nap. To the point where he would throw himself backward while on the floor! Scary since we lived in an apartment, and I could swear there was no padding under the carpet, just concrete slab! Because of the colic we all got used to 'appeasing' him, which turned him into a bit of a tyrant. My much younger sister is the one who pointed out to me that I was contributing to this ugly scenario. Yes, I was incensed and insulted, but the more I thought about it and then caught myself in the act, then I was able to be part of the solution. took about a year's time to rectify the situation, but he turned into a really sweet three-year-old as a result. He's still a good man.
