I really don't think I should have had kids. It'd be much eaiser. I can't believe that I'm a decent parent by the way my kids act.
Yesterday went so nice. I took dd to religious ed, then took ds to baseball practice, shopped with dd while ds was at baseball practice, picked ds up from baseball practice and headed off to his hockey game, an hour away. DS and DD played together nicely in the car with no fights. DH met us at the game and we went out to eat after. Things went well.
Today, DH is away at work, he'll be gone until sometime Wednesday evening. School is out and it's snowing. Dkids wanted to go skating at an ice rink. (They don't have frozen ponds here.) Rinks are all 30 minutes away. I won't skate because last time I did, my feet hurt like nothing I've ever felt before. DD is just learning to skate, I'd prefer that DH is out with her. Later today, DS has hockey practice, so he'll be skating enough today. So, I took them bowling. After bowling I was going to go to Arbys (per ds's request) and then McDonalds (per dd's request if Arby's didn't have a chicken wrap). At Arby's I ask ds if he wanted the popcorn chicken they had. He doesn't answer. So I say I've had it and go home. He whines, tells me to turn around and go back, then he calls me an idiot. I sent him to his room. Later I let him out and give him three choices for lunch here. He tells me he wants chicken nuggets and curly fries and if I can't make them, then I'm a bad cook. I tell him I can't make them, he tells me yes I can.
I had 101 things to do at home, including cleaning up the mud ds tracked all over the carpet, I didn't want to take them to bowl, but ds had been wanting to go for a long time, so, I thought it'd be a nice outing. I guess I really am an idiot.
He's 8 1/2!! He shouldn't be behaving this way.
On the plus side of it, at least my son wasn't the goalie on the other team last night. My ds was in his first hockey fight. DS was in front of the goalie, waiting for the puck, nothing abnormal. From what I heard, I didn't witness it, the goalie hits ds with his stick, ds swings his stick back to hit goalie's stick - nothing high or harmful. Play continues and ds's team scores, I don't know if ds scored that time or not, he scored once against this goalie. DS is skating away and goalie comes out of the net and skates after him. Goalie goes back to the net. DS's team goes down again and scores again and ds is skating away. Goalie comes out of the net again, skating after my ds and, with his stick up shoulder level, pushes ds from the back. DS turns around and there's more pushing (I couldn't see there were other kids in the way) ds did say he pushed back, then the other sides coach put the goalie on the bench for the rest of the game. I'd never seen anything like that before in a kids' hockey game.
