Wednesday Happenings?

I’m sorry kim22. I hope he’s doing a lot better now.

All caught up. Back to the mom situation.

I agree that a parent should be held to a higher standard than a kid in terms of controlling emotion but I also recognize they/we are humans and mess up. I don’t agree with handling things the way she did but I can feel some empathy towards both mom and child in this situation.

Poor C, kim22. I hope he’s okay!

Do those opinions change if it happens on the regular? Like if I go to drop Cadence off today or tomorrow and it happens similarly to yesterday, do you then think it's a problem or is it just a two-off? Or three....

kim22, Oh no! I hope he feels better soon and that you guys were able to get a little rest last night.

For me, yes.  After it happened once (which I don't know why I feel the need to say it, but I would never leave my kid in the cross walk), I would sit her down and talk about it that night and develop a plan to make our mornings run smoother.  Which is what we do, at night, we pick out clothes, so it isn't a battle that has to be fought.  I make sure her bag is ready to go before I go to bed.  I leave a limited number of variables to fuck up my morning.

So once, yes, I can see losing your shit.  A regular occurrence, something needs to change in that household.

kim22 Poor C. Hope after the meds and some rest last night, he is doing better today. Also hope you got some rest. Rough day for you, too. Congrats to YH on the raise.

klong11 obviously I’m kind of in the WTF camp but yeah, multiple days would be even more concerning. (Did it happen again today?!)

Oh, no idea, we were running late this morning and I had to take her most of the way to class.

kim22 poor Guy! Hope he feels better really soon!

[klong11]

I asked Cadence what she thought of the situation we witnessed. I wanted a 5 year old's perspective. She said it was "not cool". I said, not cool of who? "Both. The mom shouldn't yell and the girl should get up and go to school."
So, I agree with that.
Lets hope it was just a bad day for them and they got everything worked out.

I dont know, I'm feeling some way about this. There have been days that I have left my kids at daycare after a shit morning and i appreciate the Mom/Dad who nod in agreement with a comment of 'been there' as opposed to the judgey eyes.

Yes.  The few times I've had someone murmur, "You're doing fine," as they pass by me trying to keep my shit together when the kids are acting fools have been much appreciated.  I try to be that person when I see others (but I often feel like it's only my kids who act like this), too.  The longer I'm a parent, the more I believe that most of us are really just doing the best we can.
