My son...
He has always been a mommy's boy from day one. That's just the way that he is. He is particular, and he's a bit of a loner. He would rather play by himself most the time. He plays well with others when he wants to play with others. He whines a good bit instead of communicating. I guess I really already know what he's asking for so he doesn't have to say much.
At a friend's house tonight he was trying to carry all 6 of these cars in his hand and he kept dropping them and crying about it, but wouldn't use anything to carry them in. He just wanted to keep repeating the same thing, carry, drop , cry. He went upstairs away from me for a while, then wanted me and started crying and someone had to bring him down to me. These people that I don't know very well kept saying how grumpy he was. I just wanted to scream "So you think your kid is so PERFECT???"
I am so frustrated I could rip out my hair. I try everything with him, asking him to ask me the right way to help him and using words and sentences to tell me what he wants. At home he is completely fine. In public I become very embarrassed and try to quickly solve the problem because I feel like everyone's looking at me like I'm retarded.
I really am to the point where I don't want to go anywhere. My kids are very well behaved. Of course they have bad days, like any other child does. People are always so quick to point out what you do wrong and I am SO SICK of it.
Sorry I'm venting. I'm fed up to my eye balls with people and their "perfect kids."
