Had a Blowout :(Gosh, I think I would be too. It is more personal for you because you are the one really "working" with him. So, when mistakes come up, you get caught in the blame. I would talk with your hubby about WHY you are upset. About how he made YOU feel when he did this. Hopefully, he will show some understanding, and apologise. I hope tomorrow is better for you! Sheri I agree that you took it personal and it brought alot of old memories and there for a sec you were a kid againYou guys might be right... on all accounts. He did apoligize Sheri, but for some reason it just keeps bugging me lol. We made up and everything.![]() I am there with you. My husband made me really mad today too. The apology just isn't cutting it. I want to see action. But, that's on me now. I have to get over it. I know it's hard not to hold grudges, but try to look past it. At the very least, keep a low profile around him until you feel better. Granted I'm a bit of a sap, but I got teary reading that. I think the way you defended your son, while explaining to your husband how being treated this way made you feel as a kid, was smart and the right thing to do. It definitely changed your husband's behavior. You feel stung because of the memories. All this means is that you are going to be a great mom to your son.Maybe try to do something fun with your family tomorrow. That always seems to help me. That's a great idea. Maybe rent a few movies they like and load up on popcorn. lol. I can't believe I'm doing this, but I feel close to you all for some reason and maybe y'all can help me with this. Yesterday morning as my hubby was going to work he backed over our son's bike. He came in the house, woke the kid up out of a dead sleep, informed him he'd backed over his bike and wasn't going to fix it, and left. Steamed didn't begin to cover it. See he messed up and hinted that Dru wasn't thinking and it was Dru's fault he ran over the bike... then he messed up and brought up the ADHD. I blew. I told him that if he had to put blame on someone, it was me. That's where Dru's ADHD came from. I told him how I felt growing up, being called stupid and how hard I tried to keep up. And I knew I wasn't dumb, I just didn't catch it as fast as the other kids did. That I didn't make excuses for Dru, but I tried to teach him ways to handle his ADHD so he didn't look stupid. To double check himself and make sure his outside toys and things are put out of the way so they won't be ran over or tripped over in the dark. As for the bike accident, I asked him why he didn't look behind his truck before he backed up. Hubby has been different since then, hugging Dru and giving him an extra I love you. He even tried to fix the bike for him. So why do I still feel stung???? Dru's mom, I think one of the reasons this still bothers you is that most moms tend to internalize everything when it comes to our kids. Even if its something that we have no control over, we still feel guilty when we see pain or sadnesss on our childs face. One of the worst feelings I have as an adult is when my sons has a problem that mommy can't "fix" Instead of feeling "guilty" that he has ADHD because you do, feel happy that at least you have more of an insight to your childs mind than most people ever could. You already know what NOT to do, at thats a big head start. Dru's lucky to have you. dru's mom, isn't that what hubby's are for, to make us mad? i swear they can drives us all crazy at times.. you can't live with them and you can't live without them !!!! who would pay the bills .... or make us mad? just kidding !!!!!!!
