Now I must go back to sit on the fence and keep score on the running full scale war that my pair are engaged in. Bowen refuses to share any of his Thomas the tank engine toys with Ayden. Ayden shares everything. Ayden has learnt to say "no" and won't shre his toys. Bowen hates that word. Bowen hits Ayden ... hard. Mum puts him in time out (and prays for sunshine so she can throw them outside to play). Ayden glares and plots revenge. Bowen forgets all about it and gets totally engrossed in whatever he's up to now. Ayden king hits him in the back of the head with a steel Thomas the tank engine train. I manage not to jump up and start cheering like a cheerleader. I manage not to shout "Woohooo awesome shot Ayden". I manage severe Mummy face and eyes. I manage to put Ayden in time out (when I really want to hug him and say "well done, that'll teach the little shit to leave you alone"). I manage not to snicker, chuckle or gloat as I check the back of Bowen's head for blood or missing pieces of scalp. I am very proud that I bite my tongue and don't say "sucked in! You deserved that one". I so don't stand a chance of ever getting any kind of parenting award. I so don't stand a chance of surviving until they are teenagers. I am reconsidering the idea that two more kids would be great. Who ever said ADHD/ODD and Anxiety would'nt make for lots of wonderful family time and memories? Excuse me while I go knock myself unconcious with a brick! LOL Let me be the one to go off on a tangent and say how happy I am that I am not the only one having the “thou shalt NOT knock other children on their arses…. no MATTER WHAT the reason is” conversation with small testosterone filled bodies!

Really, it's just an age thing. Boys will be Boys and those little 'smash 'em' things just happen. And at least you talked to him about it and weren't like...'You go boy!' like some parents I've seen! LOL! Really, it’s just an age thing.

And you know that good people remember that it could just as easily have been there kid and don't judge you or your child at all for this. Kids are unpredictable sometimes and I think it is awesome that you didn't jump to his defense and think it was an accident. If you bury your head in the sand and don't use it as a teaching moment, then it's bad. The way you handled it became a learning experience. I understand why you feel bad about this, but you shouldn't. When I see someone else's kid do something like that, I always feel sympathy for the parents because I KNOW they are going to go home and feel like you do. You are an awesome mom, and I hope you know that! You know these moments happen to almost everyone right?

The very first year Hunter played, he was getting knocked on his ass at every game. He never cried, instead he got right back up and continued to play his heart out. Now...fast forward two years later, he's the kid knocking people over. Only, NEVER on purpose. Okay...once on purpose but that kid was giving him all kinds of hell before hand and had it coming....lol. I’ve been there…on both sides of that fence.

Not that I am speaking from experience. Really. Oh, okay - but all kids have their moments - I think kids who NEVER blur the lines of behaviour may well be sociopathic in a different way. Knock kid over on purpose = something to work on, but not total irrideemable (spelling?) sociopathy. One of those lessons in life. At least you took heed rather than blamed the shortstop for deliberately stepping into your darling's running path. But then, parent's like that don't know how to do the shame walk gracefully.
