Why?Why am I so overprotective? I am so overprotective of my child...that I even annoy myself.
Poor kid busted her lip yesterday at school. Thank the Lord I wasn't there....or, I would have passed out. You can see her lip in the picture...not that bad...but still sad.
Would have passed out simply because she fell on her mouth. Everyone has something that makes them a little crazy....and hurting one's teeth does it for me. My heart skips 4 beats.
Today...we were eating a gourmet lunch at the old Chick fil a.
After much convincing and bribery to indeed finish a reasonable amount of lunch....I agreed to let my kid go in the indoor playground.
It has solid glass windows...so I get to enjoy experiencing blood pressure in the hypertension category from the comfort of my dining chair.
A little boy....with a tshirt on that said "Trouble" kept climbing on places he shouldn't climb...and acting like he was going to pounce on my child.
I went in. My maternal instincts kicked in and I told him "get down from there. you are not supposed to be standing up there and you are going to hurt someone. Now get DOWN."
He just looked at me....and taunted me. What a brat.
So, I gathered my kid and made her leave.
I am always the parent on the sidelines cringing...waiting for someone to get hurt....watching her every move....
All while other parents just sit there. Relaxed.
I just can't. Not in my nature I guess.
So, if you need a lesson in over protection...I am available.
Yeah right...I need a lesson in relaxation.
WATCH OUT! BE CAREFUL! DON'T DO THAT!
HOLD ON TIGHT!
i am the exact same way. poor emma.
ReplyDeleteonce, amelie fell in bed and busted her eyelid open and had to have stitches. every since then i can't relax (like those *other* parents). another time a 100+ lb screen fell on her, she was saved by a bed frame.
i swear i feel your pain!!! hope her lip feels better :-)
