And losing it? Heck, it's built-in when there are little kids in the house. As long as you don't go to that dark place you're OK; and if you scare the kid only when he gets into something potentially dangerous, that's OK too - he *should* be scared of the cleaning supplies and the medicine cabinet. wyliekat is right - the only difference between you and anyone else is, you got caught; and you fessed.grendelskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953402811976296237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973141265011449812.post-28695347951453081492009-10-20T12:31:34.622-06:002009-10-20T12:31:34.622-06:00Honey, I so hear you.

I was on the computer the other day when my two year old twins pushed the screen out of our third story window and threw about three buckets worth of toys, clothes, etc. to the ground. And I was in the same room, just on the computer! I said a prayer in thanks that it wasn't one of them down there on the ground.

It's like when you *just* brake in time for that semi that ran the red. All the "what-ifs" can drive you mad.<br /><br />I want to jam a pen in my ear to erase the memory/vision of my then 3 (now 9) yo daughter darting across the busy collector after she decided to run home from a friend's nearby (longer story about why I was distracted avoided). When I reached her at home, I gave her a time-out to prevent me from throwing her across the room. And the I went and sobbed uncontrollably in another room. I think she got a double or triple TO for maximum throwing prevention (and because I was still sobbing).harmziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05718439326736163120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973141265011449812.post-38385528148109923912009-09-17T21:43:00.821-06:002009-09-17T21:43:00.821-06:00We've all been there.

They aren't. Really, seriously, try not to beat yourself up any more over this. Odds are, there will be many more to come and you get through those too. Trust me.

Hurricane is your child and he needs protection and care and maintenance. However, you are not responsible for every choice he makes. You told him it was wrong and dangerous and then he turned around and REPEATED it. That's not your fault. You managed as best you could, given the scare you'd just had. Frankly, I was itching to shake him from here, and I'm not even his parent. (Not that I'd come out and abuse your child, but you know what I mean, right?)wyliekathttp://www.wyliekat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973141265011449812.post-87413707423053772432009-09-17T07:22:38.836-06:002009-09-17T07:22:38.836-06:00Wow. 4 year old boys are just pure danger some t...Wow. 4 year old boys are just pure danger some times. I am sorry about what happened. At least you did not hit them, and they were all okay. Have you ever read 1-2-3 Magic by Phelan? It has helped my family a lot; I just need to be consistent with it. {{hugs}}.
