The rage of a mother
It is funny how irrational I can become when one of my kids is being hurt. Yesterday we were playing at a playground and a kid younger than Isaac started hitting him in the head with a plastic rake. All I saw was red as I ran over to make the kid stop hitting Isaac. I had to grab Isaac and take myself out of the situation. What made it even worse was that this kid's parents were no where to be seen. I was so angry but at the same time proud of Isaac because he didn't hit the kid back. He just told him to stop it and when he wouldn't he started crying and kept telling him to stop it. I was so appreciative of how good he was at not retaliating. It is amazing what a good example he is to me. I just wanted to paddle that kids bottom. I don't know if I am cut out to be a mom. I don't even want to think about all the times my boys are going to get hurt and I am just going to have to watch. I am not looking forward to sports!!!

I think you're as normal as the rest of us. If you weren't worried or didn't stop the other kid from hurting yours, we might all think you don't care about your kids -- and we all know just how NOT true that is. You're a great mom, Nat, don't forget it.
I cannot believe that! I am guessing that is what you wanted to tell me last night but I forgot to ask you about! That is crazy...I get mad just reading about it...Did Isaac actually start bleeding from that kid hitting him? Wow..
I'm sorry sis, that's awful. Good thing Issac has the combination of the Lambert and Cox "hard headedness". I can just imagine poor Issac standing there thinking, "hey stop it, didn't your mom tell you your not s'pose to hit me" Love you see you in two 1/2 weeks.
