The five year old started veering off on her own across the parking lot, not paying attention when the mom called her. The mom ran a few steps and caught the girl by the only thing she could reach - her hair.<br/><br/>She wasn't being mean, didn't yank her, just grabbed a handful - and then looked up in shock and horror to see me watching her.<br/><br/>I just gave her a big smile and she smiled sheepishly back.

I must have missed it. I'd actually rather see someone lose it than someone who does NOTHING and lets their kids walk all over them.<br/><br/>We all find our disciplining groove and we all lose it often too. We all wish we could be Nanny 911 and never lose it and always have a solution, but we're not. I just revel in the good and brush off the bad :) I just read the last post. I must have missed it.

I have too found that it's easy to talk to other moms.

Or when he's asking "Are you happy, Mommy?" over and over. Or when he colors on the wall with a Sharpie. Or when he puts Gummy Bears in the dryer... Oh wait, that was our neighbor when I was a kid. At least there's someone sane living near you who can at the very least share a chuckle over the frustrations with you.
