He whines because you pay attention to him when he does whine. Ignore that. Tell him once and once only that you will not listen. You dont understand him while he whines. If he keeps it up, walk away. Ignore him. It worked with my kids. They are adults now, but their whining stopped when they were 5.
Do not give him up for adoption. Like the previous poster said, your other children will resent you for doing it. They may even think you would do it to them. I once almost gave away our dog because it had such bad behavior from previous owner. My children were devastated because they thought I would give them away also if they misbehaved. We kept the dog. Turned out to be a great dog with lots of love. Your son isn't a dog, but I just wanted to share what your other kids might feel, like mine did, thinking that you will give away their brother.
Is it normal that I don't love my son?
