17 month old is a tyrant?

My 17 month old boy has decided that his ears dont work. He has no respect for no-no. When hes doing something wrong he hollers "mama" or "nono" and lets me know hes doing a nono. He constantly gets into everything off limits. He thinks a swat on the hand is a game and laughs. He wont sleep in his bed anymore and hogs the bed all night-sleeps with me and daddy. I think he is just testing his limits, but he has started hitting too. He is very defiant and wants everything his way. I have tried very hard not to spoil him, but he still acts like hes daring me to stop him when I tell him no. I dont want to be mean to him. Any advice?

Answers:
You swat his hand and you wonder why he's hitting? You taught him that. You need to get a good book on parenting, because you're doing a lot of things wrong. He's not testing his limits, he knows he has no limits. Try reading the Super Nanny book and follow that advice. It works!

Spank him..or call that nanny lady. She likes that chair time out thing.
