Angry, Not Angry

I didn’t get mad at him for an impulse that he obviously couldn’t control in that moment. I wanted to. A voice in my head said, “Yo. Freak out.”

The things I do for my son aren’t done for his recognition, appreciation, or even attention. They’re done because I love him.

Keeping his iPad away for the entire final day of Spring Break sounded crazy to everyone, including me, but it had to be done.

A terrible decision for your child might be the perfect one for mine.

He’s both the easiest kid to shop for and the hardest kid to shop for.

There are some days when I am in awe of his nerve.

I don’t want to live my life angry and, just because I have kids, it doesn’t mean I have to.

You never realize how much of your life isn’t kid friendly until you find yourself tasked with being friendly to kids.

My non-verbal boy can sling snark with the best of them. He just expresses it in more creative ways.

The hour would end, the door would close, and we would all be alone together again.
