hitting and then laughing

Aiden actually slapped my face this morning.  Words can't describe how mad I was, as I am sure you can imagine.  I know that this happens, but it didn't make it any less irritating.  He slapped my face, not out of anger, which now that I have calmed down, makes me think he didn't mean to hurt me.  But when I got mad, grabbed his hand and said "No hitting!" he actually laughed.  Laughed right in my face!  I was so angry, I kept explaining in a very firm way how hitting is bad, no hitting, etc.  He just laughed.  I finally put him in his crib for a time out - mostly for me to calm down.  He clearly didn't get it, has never been in time out in his crib, so just sat there for a few minutes waiting for me.  The entire time then, he was never upset about the whole ordeal.  When I came back in his room, he did want a hug, so maybe he sorta got it?  

We tried time out months ago in a chair in our dining room, but as soon as we sat him down, he would run to me crying in hysterics.  

I just don't get the laughing when I am mad!  It's like I have a devil child or something.

I have also received reports lately on how well he seems to relate to other kids and their emotions.  The other day at daycare a girl was crying because a boy wouldn't share his train with her.  Aiden said, "emma sad" and went to get the train from the boy, gave it to this girl, and said, "better!"  So he has demonstrated he gets emotions, feels empathy, but why with me he clearly doesn't care, and even thinks it's funny?

    I will also mention that DH and I watched hours and hours and hours of Law and Order SVU this past weekend on Netflix, and most episodes dealt with kids turning into psychopaths.  I know that's in my head now, so of course am overreacting thinking

    He's not a psychopath; just two! :)  We just finished this phase.  N would hit and laugh too.  Not sure if he outgrew it or we did enough time-out for it to sink in, but he doesn't do it anymore.  He only did it to us (parents.)&nbs

    Oh goodness, I'd say if this is the first time you've been slapped by your kid, you're doing great!  We don't tolerate hitting, slapping, biting, etc. in our house but it's definitely happened.  As the PP said, he's two.  He has absolutely

    Hahaha Alexander ALWAYS laughs in time out and after kicking or hitting me. And believe me, I've had the psychopathic thoughts too...why is he enjoying hitting me? But then I see he is gentle with the dog and his baby brother, so probably not. I think

    Geez...my kid laughs at me before AND after he hits me...  I get mad and tell him to stop doing something, for example, he laughs and takes a swing at me, I grab his hand/arm whatever, and he laughs again.  I let go, another swing and laughter.&
