Will someone please tell me the secrets to raising a boy!?

I had four girls, my house stayed clean it was always peaceful and never once did I feel overwhelmed. Welp lucky me child five was a boy and omg I am pulling my hair out. He's almost two and acts like hes ten and thinks he can do anything he wants. He destroys my house and I feel like he like to get under my skin for example He Rips all the pots out from the cabinets then yells annoying and runs away. Now it's hard not to laugh but I'm really getting exhausted and don't know how to stop his destruction. Please give any useful advice

Timeout really works.. And giving them the eye of death works later after the timeouts work if done properly.. I have an 8 year old boy.. And he's an angel..

You are definitely lucky. I had no problems with the girls so I don't know if it's a boy thing or if it's just that he is a spoiled brat who's really hyper. I had to get locks for everything cause he wants to go outside and get the tools to "fix cars" he can talk a lot and is extremely smart for his age which also has me wondering if he's bored cause he's not into toys but mainly more advanced things
