16 month old WHINING!

DS has been pretty whiney for a month now, he is also getting his cuspids and so I am sure this plays a part. However, I went to a waxing apt and was gone for 2 hrs, DH said he was great... when I walked in, all hell broke lose, wining, fits etc. WTF! Why does he whine more with me? I am a SAHM and am working with him to use his words, when whining for something I say "no, whining... what do you say?" and wait until he changes his "tone", so I don't feel like I give him everything he wants as soon as he whines...Any advice?

No advice, ds is the same exact way. Perfect with everyone else and as soon as he is with me he's crying and throwing tantrums! Hoping its just a quick phase!

Its a phase. DS is 2 1/2 and he was like that and now its fit throwing, toy throwinf and talking back and yelling no along with whining so yeah. Just keep consistent!

I don't think little ones that age understand "no whining" - they are barely verbal!

He whines with you because he feels the most safe with you.

Well he does change his tone (mostly) when I say it... so pretty sure he gets that he needs to respond in a different way when he is trying to ask for something!
