Oh yes. My father was the same.
My brother says that his 2-years old son is difficult. Yet, when the 'monster' is either with my mother or myself, he is very nice. He tried once and only once to hit me in the face. Retaliation was swift and imediate : one spank on the butt. Hard enough to sting. He never tried that again. Now, when I tell him something, he listens.
When he is home with his parents, his mother yells at him nearly every time he moves. To her he should be a rag doll she can put away whenever she wants.
