I understand that we can all get frustrated by everyday things that we encounter--I am not in general a happy or patient person. But, this woman clearly couldn't win....she is criticized for watching one child too closely AND for letting the toddler get away from her.
If she had been ignoring Michael and he was pulverizing another kid...she'd be criticized for that. Did you consider that maybe Michael has some sort of hearing or developmental disorder that necessitates her addressing him by name?
Yes, you are a hero, you saved the toddler from getting squashed. Thank goodness. Accidents happen...this was averted. You can't think of a single time that one of your kids ever got away from you?
I sure remember the first time my daughter really RAN. She wasn't all that far away from me, but I wasn't prepared for how long it took me to catch her.
Be irritated, but this isn't a DISCUSSION forum, come with questions or requests for advice.
I think your question from April says it best, "Why am I so testy? Why can't I be happy?" clearly you are struggling with something. I hope you can get some counseling or therapy.
