About 1 1/2 hrs ago Chris was being pushed around by a drunk neighbor who was trying to pick a fight. Both of these men are dads and both of these men can't stand the others family. Our 4 kids are prohibited to play with his 4 kids for the past 2 yrs.
Chris could of walloped him and he wanted too! I was impressed with my man's self control because I lack it when it comes to other adults lying in my face about my family. I was egging this father on. I dared him to hit me with my own temper. I was not going to show fear or back down. Chris had to step in front of me to keep this dad from hitting me.
I was not behaving at my best. I like everyone else have an ugly side. Picking a fight with my husband and lying - saying that we beat our kids makes me angrier than a mad hornet. WHAT Lies!!!
And yes this father would have kicked my butt but I was so mad I didn't care.
It started 2 yrs ago after about 6 months of trying to befriend them. The have triplets who are 6 months older than my twins. I was excited that they moved in and the twins would have friends their age. I soon realized that those kids are... let's just say my daughters can't and don't want to play with them.
Other neighbors called the police. They were on our side trying to get this guy to go home. The police came. We could have pressed charges because of the dad's pushing but what would that solved.
It's so sad that we have to endure all this. I hope and pray (I sound like a hypocrite I know) that my daughters will grow character, learn that people can be ugly. I hope they come out on top. That they will learn to be self controlled like their father, to turn the cheek, that actions cause reactions.
I hope I too can learn to keep me mouth shut. I hope I can grow from this too!
