OK, I am not a perfect parent, nor are any of my children perfect... however, this is MY blog, and therefore I'm going to use this time to bitch about the idiot adults in the parent/me class I'm taking with Drew. First case, mommy w/2wk. old sibling and grandma are at the drop off /pick up area with kid. Kid refuses nametag, this isn't just for the heck of it, our teacher has 2 classes with 15kid each, he needs these to know who is who. Mom says, It's ok, she doesn't need the nametag for this transition period. UM, ok, you just totally underminded the teacher...doofus! Same kid, during story, during craft, ah pick anypoint in our 3 hr. class she's screaming, someone touched her magnifying glass, someone took the red crayon, someone breathed... @@ the grandmother uses a cane to walk, so obviously is very limited in her chasing ability, so today kid is running across the classroom, grandma keeps sitting there quietly asking the child to return to her seat. GET the child.. my own mom has had limited mobility for a great part of my lifetime, she'd have gotten up!!!
Then there's the lovely girl and her dad. Her dad who looks at all of us mommies as if we're some lower life form. Obviously HE did not sign up for a parent/me class. So today after finishing our craft, Drew and I head to the books for a story. I'm reading when she joins us, in my lap next to Drew for the story. Dad has a small and very quiet COW!!! It was inappropriate for the girl to sit with me, as I'm a stranger...what was he doing you ask?? Reading the latest John Grisham, or somesuch book.. He asked his daughter one last time to move and get her own book, just as I finished the story to Drew.. I handed her the book and invited her to sit NEAR us, so her daddy could read the story to her... STUCK YOU BUTTHEAD! GRRR. WHY do a class like that if you are going to look bored, frustrated, and uninterested in your kids' life. What a waste!!!
Other than that, and really while I did bitch a great deal here, it wasn't overwhelming in my day, I had a great day.. even got Tori to gymnastics on time, though she was reported as being tired, um, ya think?? I know I should've let her skip, but she didn't want to!! She did the entire 90min. class without complaint she just didn't have her bubbly bouncy self there. EVERYONE understood and were impressed that she stuck it out and was there. :o)
Ok, the kids are killing eachother.. time to go help, I mean stop them. LOL

Stressed much? Lol. : )
It's hard to remain calm during those kinds of things, huh? LOL.
Not having ever had children myself, I guess 'I assume that other mothers are always used to that stuff.
'Guess not. Lol. : )
Kudos to your daughter for her perseverence. : )
