My family always has something to say about what I allow my son to do and not to do. Always a criticism that I won't let him do anything. I'm always hovering, I'm too strict, on and on.
I wonder what they think the role of a mom is after all?
Today I noticed my son playing with his bottle of Aveeno Baby Wash and Shampoo. Normally I take it right away cause I don't want him associating certain things as play items. But today I was a bit tired and since it's a click to open cap I decided to let him play with it. Big mistake!
A few moments later he's oddly quiet, so I look over to where he is...and see him licking his hand. I'm like what is he licking? I gave him nothing. Then I notice the top is off and the bottle is laying on its side seeping the gel out onto the table. Ugh!
As I walk over to him, to make sure he hasn't drank any of the gel, I'm so mad at myself! Why don't I just listen to myself. I know what's best for my son so I should just stand my damn ground.
I'm so sick and tired of hearing unasked for comments from people who always think they know better then the mother of the child. I always ask...are you going to go to the hospital with him when something go wrong? No? Then leave me alone.
Of course my family just continues annoying me until I lose it and yell at them. LOL. Then they grumble under their breaths, but you know what...I stop caring months ago.
As I wash my son's mouth out with water, cause he did lick some of th gel, but not alot thank goodness since he didn't like the taste, I realize I'd much rather continue fighting with them, then be sitting in the emergency room.
