It’s a teaching moment. Hard parenting. Kid was looking for a reaction and some attention. He’s 12 and hormonal. You discipline without violence setting a boundary for acceptable language. Time for a lengthy talk.

I was a horrible teen and the worst punishment ever was an hour long chat with Dad. Looking back, he was a wonderful father and role model of calm. Not a doormat at all.

Listen, I think you are nuts and a bad mother, and you think I'm nuts and a bad mother, let's just move on. Happy Mother's Day and enjoy what little is left of it!

Ok. I was a NP. I didn’t say anyone was a bad mom. I just don’t believe in corporal punishment. A 12 year old boy told his Mon to quit bitching on Mother’s day. It was disrespectful, foul language, bad character... slapping that kid isn’t going to teach him anything other than violence.

"Sass the wrong person and you'll get your face smacked" is a valuable lesson. It is true in the real world. If he doesn't know this, he'd better learn quick before he gets put in the hospital by some street thug.

More likely that he'll go out and buy the firearms he shouldn't have access to, shoot her, and then shoot innocent bystanders to soothe his rage. Basically the profile of Adam Lanza and Nikolas Cruz here.

Middle class suburban boy with too much anger and zero discipline.

About 13 years ago I miscarried a wanted pregnancy about a week before Mother's Day. It was horrible. I was sad and depressed. Two years later on Mother's Day I had an adorable baby girl who I adopted. And three years after that I also had a son who I gave birth to. That terrible, horrible Mother's Day is just a blip on my screen now. I have some amazing children. One day you will look back on this day and barely remember it because you will be so busy with your children. Best of luck to you and hugs. Many of us have been there.

Thank you so much for this. I’m short on hope these days and this helps.

Oh, I know it seems impossible to see it right now, but there is so much to hope for! 7.5 years ago I delivered a preterm stillborn son after 3 years of TTC/fertility treatments. I thought the world would never be right again, but 3 years later I was pregnant again (surprise!) with the same due date and my 4 year old DD is the light in all of our lives. Take comfort in whatever helps you for today, don't stress about the future and know there is a happy ending out there for you. hugs!
