How to handle the terrible two stage?

Since my son has turned two, its been hard. He has started the telling me no every time i ask him to do anything, he is hitting me and the animals (my dog has snapped at him a couple times). He will slap me in my face, throw things, spitting,screaming back at me, crying until he gets his way, temper tantrums like crazy and I have tried everything to get him to behave and nothing is working, smacking his hands, time out taking a way things he likes, yelling, using harsh tones, and all he does is laugh at everything I do. I am a single mom and its becoming very stressful. Im just at the end of my rope and have NO clue what to do. Any advice?

    I commend you for asking for advice, you are awesome. Don't give in, distract him, force him to sit in time out no matter what he does. Do not laugh at bad things that he does. Encourage him when he is being respectful and good. The most important thing you can do now is to not give in.
