took the kids to the bounce house today. some very small little kid kept annoying them and even started kneeing them in the back. I don't understand why parents don't deal with their kids. If my kids were annoying strangers I would step in and if they were physically aggressive I would leave with them.
Oh well, maybe the mom was having one of those bad days we all have. I know there are days I wonder if I will still be sane the end of the summer. My youngest goes off over very little stuff and my youngest daughter goes off when you tell her to do anything she doesn't want to do.
I used to operate from fear, always doing whatever I needed because I was afraid. Recently I realized I make a lot of decisions from guilt. My guilt over things I have done living in fear leads me to make decisions because my kids haven't had the best life. So they get by with too much and I am not an effective parent. I'm working on it. Its funny how I wouldn't let my kids run all over anyone else but they run all over me. I know I don't deserve it but yet it happens. My kids are well behaved with everyone but me. That hurts. I was raised in a very dysfunctional family and now my kids are being also. It is a totally different way but dysfunctional is dysfunctional.
