Seriously.
I know what you mean. He's a good kid but these dinner time antics and the whole contrary boy deal just really impact our relationship negatively. Sometimes, and this totally breaks my heart I have the feeling that I just don't like him very much. We do have a lot of fun together but this a$$hat behavior really colors our relationship negatively.
The problem is I feel like I am always coming down on him and this just makes him fight back harder. He has some rebellion in him so I try not to nurture that because I know where that leads overall - he'll end up like I did.
The other side of the coin - his 2 year old brother. Eats everything we put in front of him and rather than whine he says things you almost never hear from a 2 year old: 'Okay!' and 'Yes'.
Seriously. He eats broccoli and loves it.
