I kid you not. This kid has lost his mind. I was cleaning out the garage and he sees some soda bottles that I have stored for my brother. (my brother lives in a small apartment and his coupon stash Is here). I told SS10 no we don't drink soda but he can have apple juice. This kid picked up a bottle and threw it and it hit my back. DH came out and swooped him up by the back of his shirt and gave him an earful. SS said he wasn't trying to hit me he was just mad and threw it.

I can't believe this freaking just happened . Part of me wanted to throw one back.

While SS really may not have 'meant' to hit you, and didn't really 'aim' perhaps bottle at you...that does not excuse fact he did hit you. Give the brat the benefit of the doubt. Sure it was an 'accident' the bottle hit you (choke choke), but hit you it did. On purpose or not. That's why it's not acceptable behavior to toss/throw things.

As tempting as it must have been to pick one up and hurl a bottle right back at him, it would rather defeat the lesson of 'no tossing anything, no matter how angry something makes you'.

Just visualize it in your mind. Smacking him a good one and watching his little jaw drop in shock that SM's can act out in anger too Biggrin

I would be furious.

Think about the next time this happens. (Yes, it will happen again) Your baby could quite possibly be in your arms.

My response would be...
"So your were angry? Wanna know what I feel like doing when I get angry? I feel like spanking you until your butt is red and raw. I feel like stripping your bedroom of all your toys and keeping you there all day. I feel like making you eat rotten food for a week. But do I do it? No. Because it is so VERY wrong. So the NEXT time you get 'angry' think about how angry I could get and stop being a little jerk."
