How to get a 6 year old to listen to you

heartpains's picture

Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase help! SS6 school is shut down because of the snow. DH is on call this week and got called in. I'm stuck here with my twin 1 year olds and SS6. I'm over my head. He won't listen. If I tell him no or put that down he will just look straight at me and say no. If I tell him to go to his room or time out he will just whine he doesn't want to and throw a tantrum. If I pick him up and put him in time out he will throw a tantrum in my arms. He is pretty big for a 6 year old and to have him kicking and pulling on me hurts. When I finnaly get him in the corner he just runs back out like its a game and I have to chase him again. I have four other little feet I have to follow around and make sure they aren't getting into things they shouldn't. Please help me I'm losing my mind. He's sitting there watching cartoons and I'm just waiting for him to start trouble again. What can I do? I'm being serious so no rude comments please.

And just so you know DH doesn't always leave me alone with him. He is usually in school right now.
