It frustrates me but I use those opportunities to "practice my patience" as I tell my daughter. Unfortunately, while it frustrates me, it full-out angers my husband. Any advice to curb the know it all behavior? Or to at least help my husband deal with it?

It seems that they have these sorts of conversations as well, but DH can never remember them exactly. He always comes home so frustrated with the fact that DS is constantly arguing with him. I don't think DS is intentionally arguing, it is just a young boy's way of making conversation.
