And my tender old one. <br /><br />Catrina- Thank you. I know it will all be fine. <br /><br />jenny_o- I have been a huge fan of her's since forever. Thank you. I'm trembling in my soul. <br /><br />Catrina- Talk about your cleanses- there you go. <br /><br />Ellen Abbott- Yes m'am.

When my now almost-20-year-old granddaughter was five she yelled something at me (strange, but I don't remember what it was), and I got down on the floor with her and told her how disappointed I was that she used that tone of voice. She began the hiccuping, then the sobbing, and I followed suit. My heart still hurts just thinking about that, and, oddly, she has no memory of it at all.

Telling someone you're dis...You're human. <br /><br />Telling someone you're disappointed in them... it might not be good to hear but it's not hugely high on the list of abusive behaviours. <br /><br />He knows how proud you are of him, how much you adore him, how fabulous you think he is. You were disappointed in something he did in that minute, not really him. <br /><br />Don't cry. Just talk to him and explain you feel bad and tell him all the good things. We all make mistakes and do things we regret - it's how you manage it afterwards that counts in the long run - given that this is a blip in your ridiculously exemplary grandmotherly record. <br /><br />It's ok, it's ok, both of you. You can sort it out easy. Don't cry. Hug it better.

He won't be scarred for life by being told someone was disappointed in him when he was acting up! And six isn't too young to start to understand the effect of his actions on other people's feelings. That's part of the process of growing up to be a decent human being.<br /><br />Please don't be so hard on yourself! You are a WONDERFUL grandmother, and mother, and lady. Owen is lucky, and so is the rest of your family. And you can bet they all know it!<br /><br />Hugs to you!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-85684739672404356802016-07-14T11:32:23.420-04:002016-07-14T11:32:23.420-04:00You are still BA, even in humility.
