It sounds as if your youngest child is controlling your household right now with inappropriate behavior. I would suggest making an appointment and talking with your pediatrician about your son's behavior. He or she may want to rule out any physical cause for this behavior and refer you to a specialist that can help.

 

In addition, you may want to consider family counseling to help you and your other children better cope with the situation at home.

If anyone understands it is a parent that is already going through it right, hang in there my son is going to be 5 soon and that all sounds like stuff that ive went through if things get to bad and u are in the state of ohio akron childrens hospital is one of the only places that will help u figure out what is actually going on. They have awsome doctors that will sit down with you now to help instead of making you wait until they start school good luck i hope everything works out

Another resource you may want to look into is your local school system.  When my son started pre-school the folks from the local schools evaluated him.  They also had a pre-school that he could have attended and gotten the help he needed.  I know when you're in the middle of it it's hard to see a way out, just remember to breathe, it can get better.
