Topic: Smart mouth

Our 3-year-old DS has had a bad habit of telling people (mostly DH) that he doesn't like them. It's really bad with DH, that's the first thing DS says to him in the morning. I have tried to reason with him and tell him that hurts people’s feelings, tried time outs and flicked him under the chin; nothing seems to be working. Any thoughts? This is beyond frustrating.
