Well here we are
at another day, can't say the day started off that great well the
getting up and exercising was find and I even managed to put my knee
high stocking on without much trouble but around 8am things went
south.
The boys (Blain &
Leo) got into a punch up which was annoying and frustrating and made
me yell but what really made me see red and lose it with Blain was
when Leo had fallen to the floor and Blain started kicking him in the
ribs. As far as I am concerned kicking a person when they are down is
a cowardly thing to do, as Jessica said when I told her if they were
drunk it would be understandable or if one was frightened and
fighting for their life kicking someone would be understandable but
this was two little boys fighting over nothing really so such an
action was uncalled for.
When I dropped
Leo off at school he said he was sorry that he upset me and told me
he loved me, and could never hate me, the hate me bit was because as
we were leaving this morning I stopped at the top of the driveway and
asked if one of the boys would get out and get the catalogues off the
letter boxes and neither would so in a huff I got out and said
sometimes it is as if you hate me. I was just in a mood.
After taking the
boys to school I went and had my mammogram done and on the way home I
rang and spoke to Natasha and explained to her while I lost it with
Blain even though she was on the phone to Blain while all this
fighting went down. I wanted to explain things in a calm manner she
said she will be speaking to Blain about kicking when she gets him
from school this afternoon as she also agreed you do not kick someone
when they are on the ground.
She also said
that Blain will not be going to is mates place after school today
because of his behaviour this morning.
Natasha said she
is having a lot of attitude from Blain on Friday mornings and Mondays
after he gets back from his dad's place the problem on Fridays is
because he doesn't want to go to his dads and he often returns in a
right mood as well.
I think the fact
that Blain knows his dad doesn't like Steve and thinks Natasha is
being stupid for supporting him has something to do with why Blain
doesn't want to be with his dad, Blain like most children want to see
his mum happy. Also Jono is very strict and Blain has to do chores
and homework and and can't get away with stuff like he does when he
is with his mum.
Boys will be boys!
ReplyDeleteYes they will and the fighting although annoying and frustrating happens a lot and I am getting better at dealing with it
DeleteThe difficult stage of growing up can be frustrating to both the young ones and the adults.
ReplyDeleteSo true but I am learning to deal with it better
DeleteTough times for the kids.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the boys fighting. Boys will be boys, but you were right to nail him on the kicking.
ReplyDeleteYes fighting happens but you don't kick when the person is on the ground
DeleteSorry you had such a tough time with the boys. Kicking goes way too far.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Yes kicking is taking it too far in my opinion
DeleteIt's always upsetting to see kids in physical fights. And sometimes hurtful words are just as bad. Sorry you had a rough day.
ReplyDeleteYeah the day didn't start out too good but that was then and this is now
DeleteI think you are right to put your foot down on the kicking. Inappropriate response to anger. Better he knows it now rather than letting it go on. Good for you!
