Its long! You dont have to read it all LOL
So has anyone got one of those friends whos kids never do anything wrong? If I say something good mine has done, hers have done twice as good, but if I say something not so great they have done, hers have NEVER done it. Even a normal kid thing.
Up until a few months ago, we had a bit of a bed wetting issue here. I'm hoping, touch wood, that its over now, at least with the eldest. (My youngest isnt out of nappies yet so have it all to come again LOL) My older 2 sons who are 6 and 4, were tag teaming me, taking it in turns to wet each night. They had been fine for ages and just seemed to be having a phase. But my 6 year old had been invited to sleep at his friends (8 doors away) I'm a bit of a worrier anyway, and wasnt too keen on the idea, but everyone was tellign me I was beign unfair and had to learn to let go. But I was concerned about him possibly wetting at their house. In the end he did go and everything was fine, but when I asked for advice from my friends, this particular one offered no helped or advice on the wetting, just said that her children (7 and 4) sleep away all the time and are fine and have NEVER wet their bed not even once. Well whoop-de-do. That fantastic that you have never had to change a whole bed and PJs at 2am while trying not to wake another child. But doesnt really help me does it.
Then a mutual friend shares one of those pictures of a kid covered in sudo creme, with a funny caption, that is always going around. We all 'like' it and comment a funny story about our own kids. But not her. No, she cant understand how kids do this, hers would never even DARE, besides she would never be stupid enough to leave it in there reach!
Now I get that sometimes there are things that as a parent you have not had to deal with. None of mine, have had the sudo creme out, but then again its more by luck than judgment. We have however had a simialr incident with my (then) 2 year old, sat at the table painting, me washing up with my back to him, I ask "what are you painting?" he replies "zac", I think "aw how sweet, his painting a picture of his little brother". I hear my (then) 8 month old behind me, look down and find the 2 year old hasnt been painting a picture OF Zac, his been painting ON Zac! So I grab the camera and take a few pics before cleaning him up LMAO
The latest one, which has really got to me, was that at the weekend my boys (6,4 and 2) were playing in the garden, I dont leave them out there by themselves, as I say I'm a worrier. But Hubby was out there, pottering around a bit, so I came in to do the food shopping online. Hubby comes into tell me something. Goes back out. All 3 are GONE! Now my sister in law lives 2 doors away and the 6 year old had decided they should all pay her a visit. I of course had a heart attack right there on the spot, and by the time I had run the 30 seconds round to hers to see if they were there every single scenario had gone through my brain and I was feeling like the worlds WORST mother.
I posted about it, and how I would be getting a lock for the gate, a BIG lock (LOL) She replied with how her children can reach the latch on their gate and it has no lock but they know not to go out and so never would.
The thing that really gets me, is that she is always telling people her children would never dare do anything wrong, and has never even accidently done something wrong. But then will post about how her 2nd daughter makes her feel so down because shes so naughty. Dont know what she can possibly do thats naughty, as she wont ever do anything that other kids do.
Sorry. Thats been building for a while LMAO
