How so? :question:
Good Lord Ego, how old were you? Safe to say that may have been and overreaction.
That it means enough to you to have thought it through so much, is simple proof that you are in fact, not the meanest mommy ever...Well we're going through a little something I'm not sure if he is just trying to see how far he can go since it's summer and our schedule has changed and more relaxed or what. But yesterday I decided we needed some one on one so I took my five yr old son, Jake, to the children's museum, we had a good time and he got a couple things at the gift shop, so on our way out he sees the blue powerade in the machine, well, I have no cash. I never do b/c of the stupid check cards. So he has a fit over that and then moves onto a sprite at the concession and when I said no to that he walked up to me and hit me. So I got down and said we are going to the van now and when we get home you will face the consenquenses of hitting mommy. So he's fussing but walking with me. Anyway, I have a problem with the follow through. After a nice car ride home having to say ok, it's time to face your consequenses, I just hate bringing up the ugly so I usually drop it and that has resulted in him not really respecting me authority. So I pop him on the butt with my hand and hugged him, told him I loved him but to understand I was the parent and if I say no, it's no. So he woke up pissed at me over that and I've already arranged a playdate with one of his friends, they are coming over to swim at 12:30, so I try hard to make his life happy and full. So I had the tv on VH1 or somethign while I was picking and he said he wan't breakfast but I need to turn the freakin channel to spongebob and off those stupid songs. So I asked him if he could think of a nicer way to talk to me. He said no so I sent him to his room to which he replied I was the meanest mommy ever. My husband called and talked to him so for now, he's sweet again. Anyway, he's a good kid and it was just me and him for four yrs before the two little monsters came along and now he's got to share me. So we're just going through normal stuff.
Sorry for the longest post ever! But it's only appropriate that the meanest Mommy ever do it!

it was definitely an overreaction for her. she's never hit me besides that one time in my entire life. i was around 8 or 9 i guess. i cut a big chunk out of the front of my hair...i probably had on some reebok pumps at the time(just for an add-on)
I'm sure she felt awful afterwards. Good Lord, kids can push you to the line sometimes. Did you guys ever talk about it?
well my parents didn't do this whole, i'll spank you then hug and kiss you stuff. they also didn't give me w/e i wanted. which i'm glad theydidn't. w/e i got i had to earn. any back talking or throwing fits, i'd get whooped by my dad. and no not one slap on the butt w/ a hand. he got the ole trusty leather belt out and beat the crap out of us. i guess that's why me and my brother never got in big time trouble as we have gotten older. unlike a lot of our friends, who's parents felt whippings were bad, and timeouts and being their friends would work.
it's not child abuse, it's discipline. don't worry my kids will be whipped w/ a belt, they will learn right from wrong and i don't give 2 s#*ts if it's not politically correct. kids that are spoiled rotten turn out to be the biggest terds and waste of space i've ever seen.
