My son is 2 and has changed from a peaceful, laid back, easily entertained, and easily pleased baby.....to a down right mean, loud, demanding, bratty two year old.

I feel like I have no control over him and he's the one with the control over me.

He screams soooo much, all day long he throws 20-30 minute scream fits about...could be anything, a pancake this morning.

Last night he kept hitting me, and although I'm much bigger and stronger, I felt weak and he continued hitting me around, very hard to. Then he picked up a toy car when I wasn't looking, and as soon as I turned around it popped me right in the face. Felt like I got socked. I have a nice bruise this morning from it, hurts.

I need to gain control, and I need him to be aware of who's boss. He does not get disciplined correctly, and I've always been so soft. I need him to listen and to stop throwing this horrific scream fits. They really get to you after awhile, it's so hard to put up with it.

I need parenting advice, please help.
