Have you gotten to the point that you can ignore any tantrum and not even hear it?

I look forward to that day. Right now I've only progressed to trying to suppress my laughter when he does the rolling around on the floor while hollering thing.

Yes. I'll send him to his room when he starts crying about something. And I'll go back to what I'm doing. 10 mins later, it'll dawn on me he is still crying.
He's gone way better as he has gotten older. But I think once they realize they get no attention and just sent to their room to work it out and calm themselves down, the crying becomes a much shorter period of time.

I step over him and walk away most of the time, if it's one where he's flailing and kicking ME he gets a swat to the butt.

I've gotten to where I don't even hear the tantrums, not even when they are in front of me. My 6 year old is the worst. She's 6 going on 16. She slams doors and screams that she hates me. I just turn around and giggle. Then I call my mother to thank her for wishing this on me.

My son used to do the same thing until hubs snapped one day and put the fear of Dad into him. Hubs is a sweet and kind man but when the CPO side of his personality rears its head, even I run for cover.

She has Daddy wrapped around her little finger. I'm not with them when she visits him, but I'm pretty sure that he does not discipline him. Then again, I'm pretty sure that she does not act the same around him either. I get the brunt of it. Always.

Yes ma'am. You are correct.
My hubs isn’t my son's bio-dad so being stricter came easier to him back then (my son was around 4 at the time). I was the push-over and my son's dad, Jason, was the disciplinary.
As my son got older he was better behaved for me and then worse for his dad. Jason would call me and say, "I'm going to beat our boy. You better set him straight before I do because he isn't listening to me." I spend 5 minutes on the phone with my son and then he is the golden boy again.
We finally worked it out so that Jason and I were on the same page concerning the proper way to discipline and raise our son and were a team when our son tried to play us against each other. Once our son figured out that his behavior got him grounded in both households, he knocked it off. But he was a bit older than yours by then.
One bit of motherly advice I will share with you, from my own personal experience, Stop them when they say they hate you. Do not allow them to disrespect you like that. It could become a habit and it will hurt your heart if it does. I know they are just trying to express their feelings and I know it probably doesn’t bother you now, but it could create a bad habit of being disrespectful towards you. And that cannot be allowed. You are their Mom and they damn well better show you the proper respect.
Like I said my hubs snapped, so when my son said it after that I would give him a hug and tell him, “I know you are mad and I love you anyways.” Followed by hubs in background, “BOY DON’T YOU EVER TALK TO YOUR MOM LIKE THAT AGAIN.” lol
