The Neurotic Mom Attack

http://nodont-speak.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Don't really know what had taken over me. What I know was that throughout this week I was grumpy, quick to jump into aggressive action and was just generally feeling angry and hostile at just about anything or anyone who crosses my path.

Yesterday evening what happened to A2 pulled out all the stops. Normally I would use reason to stop myself from attacking other people. But that day, somehow all reasons were chucked out the window and my uncontainable wrath was directed at the cause of A2's bawling. Tired, exhausted and generally feeling angry and grumpy I was just home from fetching A1, when I noticed A2 was crying. When queried was informed that a certain kid of same neighbourhood hit him hard on his back just because A2 refused to lend him his bike. As I was already in a nasty mood, I was mad & outraged and like a crazy woman started searching for the bully's contact numbers. In my mind kept on saying, 'oh i'm gonna get you for this. I dont care what your parents think of me but I'm gonna get you for this, you rascal! Nobody messes with me. And when you mess with my kids, you're messing with me!' 

Angrily punched in the numbers on the phone hoping to speak with his dad for I know he'd get a good spank if his dad got wind of what his bratty son did this time. Unfortunately got to only speak with his mom from whom I doubt they'd be any form of physical punishment due to this undeserving son of hers. Verbally reprimanded, yes but definitely no a good hearty spank. So I was not fully satisfied. Planned to call his dad later when he's available to talk.

Later unexpectedly, as fate would have it, when I was about to turn the corner leading to our home on the drive back back from a dinner out, saw the boy on his bike cycling recklessly at the end of the road. As someone gripped by the super duper nasty bug, I immediately sped along and chased after the boy in my car before he got out of view. Cornered to a stop, he got no way to escape and had to endure with whatever I had to say. With a mad and angry voice, I told him off repeatedly and warned him with no uncertain terms that I'd make sure he knelt before A2 and begged for his forgiveness if he ever laid a finger on my son again.

Surprise, surprise, now that he was dealing with me he didn't seem so arrogant like he usually did. He suddenly turned into a humble and yes ma'am-okay ma'am boy.

This same boy here had been bullying both A1 And A2 for years. And he's gone too far this time. So he thought just because he got no reaction from me nor hubby for bullying my kids, I was going to take it lying down again, is he? Oh no you don't. You dont wanna mess with me. When I lose my temper goodness knows what else I'm capable of. He's lucky that I didn't get out of the car.
