3 year old boys behavior.

My son is so different around me than anyone else. with me he is very mean, calls me names, (not nice ones) tells me to shut up. Will pinch me kick me etc…I don’t understand why? He is excellent with everyone else. His dad, anyone. Iam consistant with him. I do timeouts. As soon as the other person leaves and it’s just me he turns into this terror. I have tried different approaches too.

Here is an example from today: He wanted a snack and i said it wasn’t snack time. he said “i just want one” i said no you need to go and play and you will get a snack at snack time. He falls on the floor and starts screaming at the top of his lungs. i let him scream for a bit and then i go in there and say. “no screaming” you need to get up or your going into a timeout. He will pinch my arms and scream bloody murder. i say “you have till the count of 5 to go sit on the couch and go in timeout. he will not go. so i tell him that because he didn’t go and take his timeout that he needs to go sit up in his bed. because he will not go on his own he fights me the whole way to his bed. He kicks me the whole way. i will put him on his bed and he will continue screaming at me, telling me to shut up and the top of his lungs. If it gets bad enough he will call me a *****. he has been screaming for 7 minutes solid now. I just dont know what else to do anymore. I actually set up a video the other day because people didn’t believe that he was acting this way.
