let me reiterate...like I could give a #badword#.
Best I can tell AUmom is one of those women who give PMS a bad name. You know why a few people don't mind hearing stories about my kids? Because they like me. Sorry babe...you just aren't that damned likable.
And besides the fact that you have the personality of a pair of dirty underwear, these guys know that I can give as good as I get. I don't get my drawers in a wad if somebody tells me something I don't want to hear. I may scorch them a new reverse Mohawk, but I'm not gonna whine to the admin or tell everyone I'm leaving and not coming back (again...and again...and again.)
Aubie in bham? Inmates running the asylum? That's cute. Most of the other parents I know consider me a hard-ass parental version of the Borg cause I don't let my kids get away with much. But seeing as how I give shots to dozens of kids every day, I cut my own the same slack I do my patients...I won't let a parent yell at a kid for crying when I give them a shot. Because shots hurt. As long as they don't hurt themselves or me or anyone else, I don't see the need to make a 6yo suck it up and not cry. Beyond that, the simple fact is...it's my #badword#ing office, and next door is my uncle's office...we can let my kids do any damned thing we want. I'm glad to hear that you had a borderline abusive dad as a child...it could explain a lot.
