WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 11

CiPA -

Keep a check on the neg MOM talk/influence. She may be a witch to you, but she is their Mom. Your kids are young, and they do have opinions, BUT, not sure they're old enough to come up w/some of this on their own.

Thanks for the reminder Mindful - as well as the hook up with your people! :-) (I'll send you an email with where we're at)

I know my 7 year old is bitter about being lied to from a few weeks ago - he was suppose to go to a friend's Bday party. It was her weekend and she told him that he could go, but the next day at school his friend told him his mom called saying he wasn't coming. When he asked her, she said she couldn't figure out what to do with his little brother during that time. He told her that Daddy would watch his little brother or take him to the party but she said she would figure it out.

Then that day when she came to pick them both up, my 3 year old told her that he wanted to stay home with Daddy. She said ok and my 7 year old went with her thinking she would take him to the B'day party since her excuse of what to do with his little brother was gone. She didn't take him.

When he came home, he told me how mad he was that mommy lied about letting him go first and then why he couldn't go. It really hurt his feelings as he really wanted to go.

In hindsight though, I should have stopped throwing the snowballs at the "mommy" snowman, but it was just toooo funny!
