Even if you are a perfect parent…
…your child will still throw a tantrum at the least convenient, most embarrassing time.

I had a similar experience lately. I think they can smell fear/weakness.
Sorry about your computer. Must be rough!
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

I hear that. I still feel those buring eyes and the “Why can’t you control your kid?” thoughts.

We get that look that Mama K is talking about all the time at church. M is a playful, chatty girl and doesn’t understand the word quiet…. But to add to the embarassing moments.. She yelled out “Me pee pee” during mass, right when it was a moment of silence. UGH… I don’t think I have ever ran so fast in my life.. maybe that was because she was still yelling “Me pee pee” then entire time I was heading out to the bathroom. Needless to say, we stayed in an empty classroom that I found and played at the chalkboard until mass was over.
