FJ, just wanted to send you some
I also only have a 2 year old so probably can't be of much help, but may I ask what you do for punishment when he treats you this way, or when he behaves this way? Are you stricter then his dad is to him? Could this be why he behaves this way with you and not as much with your hubby?
I think a routine chart is a great idea. Also having clear boundaries is essential. You and your DH need to stick together too. Not saying that he does but if he does, don't let him undermind you (or the other way aroound). Kids pick up on this and will play you against eachother and then it's all over. Umm not sure what else to say. Stay strong and be clear with what is ok and not ok. Don't give mixed signals eg. not eating dinner is ok tonight because I am too tired to argue, but the other night you had to. Today I will put your shoes and socks on because I just can't be bothered dealing with your behaviour etc I know it is hard to stand your ground (it already is with a toddler) and it would be even harder if you have a very stubborn child, but try and be strong. If you are he will come out the other side and you will see a change very very qucikly.
Ok I may have been talking out of my butt here but those are my thoughts and suggestions.
