After hearing that I shouldn't complaining.
My son misbehaves but he doesn't have tantrums. His misbehavior his controlled and well thought out. He already knows how to lie, he hits and is can be selfish (this is getting a little better) he also whines too much (I can't stand whining).
He can be really sweet. He loves snuggling and hugs. He always tells me "mom but I want to be good". He will pick up after himself (if I tell him to). If I tell him to do something he usually doesn't do it right away but if I start counting he usually comes running. I guess what I can't get a handle on is the hitting, he attacks my oldest son, stepson and the dog. I'm working with him with the positive re-enforcement. The other day when he picked up his toys I grabbed him and hugged him so hard and told him how proud I was of my big boy, he was so proud of himself and wanted to keep cleaning. It's moments like this that makes me feel like I'm doing something right.
