stress vent

i had a really bad day yesterday,

the mom and tot club i take my son to say he to rough and the fear for there kids! this is a load of rubbish yes hes hyperactive- we control this well with his diet but we are still getting used to american food brands.

they are all boys at the club, my son is just the biggest not the oldest (tho most of them are much younger 2 and under), it not his fault that at 3 and a half hes a big as most 5-6 year olds. i do punish him if hes rough but i feel like i'm the only parent telling their child off. he must spend most of the time in time out while the other carry on playing.

to top it all off i got very upset about this, my friend came over with her 17 month old who my son plays with fine ( his mum is english to- may be it is just us can't you let boys be boys any more- oviuos i don't let it get to far) we took the boys out.

so at 4.30 i get a lower abdominal pain ( last only seconds ) my friend takes my son home with her and i go to the emergancy room. hubby mets me there.

i have a ovarian cyst that bleed at bit and a subcohonic (sp) hemmorage oh joy at nearly 10 weeks pregant and scared enough after my misscarrage this is just what i need. baby is fine health heartbeat etc.

my MIL want us to go stay there for a few days ( she really is the best my mum lives in england) so she can run round after isaac as i've been told to rest. it only 20 miles and she will have the dog there too, einy loves her. - its also closer to work for hubby as he and his dad can share the car drive as they own the business together. we will move closer to them when the economy picks up and we can sell our house.

sorry to vent at you

thanks for listerning to my rabbling

glad your mil is good to you. your son sounds like hundreds I have had in my group at primary school. he is a boy, I like boys to be boys. rant away!
please take care of your self. Do what the Dr. says. :)
I hope today finds you feeling better. Isaac is just learning the rules of socializing. Please don't get to upset about it. He will eventually understand...they get so excited they don't know their limits, but he will. I raised 3 boys. lol I am glad to hear you can stay with your in laws a bit. Accept help when offered, it will make things a little easier for all.

Enjoy your rest.
Hope you are feeling better... ...... :ghug:
thye didn't tell me this to my face i got and email in my inbox this morning, i was upset yesterday as my friend rang and toldme they had talked to her


zoe
I'm so sorry! Try not to let it bother you (as much as it's possible). Maybe Isaac plays better one on one, which is why he does better with the 17 month old? Maybe he gets too riled up with so many other kids around at your playgroup.

I hope you feel better and let your MIL take care of you and Isaac.
Grrrrrr. Jus remember, it'll all be OK. Big Guyz rock!
I have raised 2 boys.. actually they are teens now... and when my youngest was little there were several times we had the same problem. He was also bigger than most boys his age (still is~~ He is 14 now & is nearly 6 foot 2). People always thought he was rougher than the other boys, talked loud, was strong willed, etc etc etc.

It was tough some days... but we managed. there were times I was angry at people, sometimes they act like their kids were just perfect and my son was just horrible....

Let me tell you, NOW, after all we went thru... some of those boys are into drugs and smoking and skipping classes, foul mouthed - even to their parents. My son ~ still not perfect, still active, but very patient (loves to help elderly, loves to help me cook too), sensitive to others feelings, well adjusted, kind to animals.

The only real thing I could complain about is he doesn't keep his room clean enough for me... and he could always get more A's in school. I'll take the B's and C though. Those parents who always complained to me can keep their boys and I'll take my son over thiers anyday of the week!!

Keep your chin up... it will all work out.
Zoe,
Don't worry about those other Moms. It was rather rude that they e-mailed you rather than said something to you.

Glad you will be staying with your MIL until you are doing better. It's great that you have such great inlaws.
Take Care of yourself!
thats just it hes an only one at the moment, but away from other kids (he just gets so excited) he lovely other than the usual three year old pushing boundery

i acctually have to get him to stop helping, he will put his clothes in laundry if i ask him, collect cups for the dishwasher etc . is probably too nice to strangers. is polite, has good manners. always says please and thank you.

we don't have a fenced yard so he will even say mummy einy needs out,will put him on his lead and i find him at the door letting einy out for the toilet. he fills up einy food bowl and plays with him in the house.

hes even looking forward to making egg free peppermint creme candies for our friend for christmas.

i'm probably just to over sensitive, but heck hes my baby and i love him and i'm hormonal.

thank you listerning to my rant


zoe and einy
You are hormonal, worried about the pregnancy, a very loving and protective mother. Blast your anger here, just don't melt the keyboard in the process. Better you vent and be done than to hold it in and bother the peanut inside you.
Your boy sounds amazing and loving. You just let us all bear the burden of those nasty women and you feel better getting it off your chest. You don't need this right now anyway, get better and give that wonderful little boy a great big hug from all of us and one for you too :ghug:
I have raised my 6 boys and they are all different.I found theres nobody more judgemental than other parents.Some boys are bigger and rougher than others.I had one particular horror child,I just only let him play with similar type boys,I couldnt do a whole lot about his personality,just make him follow the rules.It can be hard.I ran a playgroup for 8 years and the hardest part was mothers who wouldnt accept their child wasnt perfect,and always made constant excuses for him.I found just saying"Sorry,we all know this son of mine can be rough and rowdy,so lets just let him play with that older group of similars then the good quiet kids can play in peace."Funnily enough,most women nodded their heads in agreement,my child was "bad" but never saw theirs too were horrors!
He outgrew it,once he had other interests in life and he grew up with the best work ethic of all my sons.He is one of those men who will do anything and can turn his hand at anything.Luckilly when they become adults they can do things like skydiving and bungy jumping and it isnt judged as bad behavior.Many times I thought I was simply the vessel to get him here,lol,he is so unlike his brothers.
My main hate was people who didnt ever tolerate a small toddler BOY hitting a girl yet if their girl hit a boy,it was all "oh hes a boy,she couldnt have hurt him"
I would find another group and maybe older kids than him?Older boys usually love daredevil younger boys joining in.My rowdy boy was a hero among the older kids,he did things they didnt dare.
