I can't believe my kid just said...

[SnowCrystal]

I wasn't sure whether to put this here or as a vent... but here it goes:


Yds was just telling dh that he's going to miss him alot when he's gone... it was so sweet. He was giving dh a hug, when mds piped up and told him "yeah, that might be the last time you see him." WTF? I sent him to his room and told dh to go talk to him about it, because I wouldn't be responsible for my actions if I were to go in there.

Yds is five and doesn't remember the last time dh deployed (he wasn't even two the last time). I just don't want yds to worry any more about his dad than he has to be.

Kids - I swear, the things that they think and say, sometimes! But, yeah, I gte where you're coming from - a good talk might be all the he needs to really understand what that actually *means*

Dh did that and now he's full of attitude... this is going to be a looooooonnngggg day.

I hope the talk went smoothly and he understand why he shouldn't say things like that to his younger sibling.

"Do you have yourself an attitudinal problem!" - Major Payne has an answer to every situation.

Joke aside - I hope things smooth out! If you're not in awe of their sweetness you're in distress over their bruteness!
Perhaps your oldest is tiffed, actually, because he *does* remember? (how old is he?) - Some people find it easier to be angry than to feel sad or hurt.

Thanks, Auntie... I needed that!


ETA: This is my mds, he is 10... this is something new for us, he's never been our 'tude child before (that's always been dd when dh is gone).

[Aunt Sponge]

LOL Caution with that - I believe his next actions in that were to shave their heads bald and make them wear dresses.
Miiight not do so well for your situation.

That was pretty mean I hope Brent gave him a good talking to! Hopefully he will "calm down" in a few days. Is yds ok?

Oh that sucks Sounds like mds is a bit worried about deployment but is expressing it SO the wrong way.
