How many ways can I put this?
Apr. 21st, 2011 04:08 pmKid, you don't get to kick Dad in the face. You particularly DON'T get a pass on this today because Dad was doing his level best to give you some undivided attention before he went back to work after being SICK for three days. You haven't liked Dad being sick - well, dear - neither has he.
He has a lot more patience with bad behavior than I do. But - kicking Dad in the face is completely kapu dude. I suspect other people would have spanked. You just got your feet pulled out from under you and sat on the bed.
I am neither happy with myself or you right now about this. Just so you know. But I promise, tantrums with kicking is NOT IN YOUR BEST INTEREST.
In other news, I sat in on a class of his yesterday and it's plain plain my kid is way ahead of his peers and bored. I mean, that hand is UP AND WAVING, sputtering the correct answers and his peers are still struggling.
It's also very clear there's some peer stuff going on that is real Lord of The Flies in the making. The joys of childhood?
Man, and it's only coming up time for kindergarden.
