[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I’m not mad at the 8yo, because she wasn’t the one who was hitting me while I was unconscious, and also she’s just kinda clueless about these things. And finally she was very remorseful and upset when she found out I was actually unconscious.  The 5yo is a different story. He kept laughing even afterwards- which made me even more livid.

And my husband roughhouses with them a lot. Play fights, and he lets them beat up on him, and he is rough with them.  I don’t like that stuff, so I draw pretty clear boundaries with me in terms of hitting, etc.

We did have a very clear discussion after about what to do in that kind of situation.  I’m not making excuses for my kids- I was disappointed in how they handled it. And yes- a bit concerned about their apparent lack of concern for me.[/quote]

There was just a post last month about a child laughing uncontrollably while scared.  Parent was livid, like you are, because they didn’t realize that this is one of the most common reactions in kids.  They literally have no way to process what happened and their brain went past overwhelmed and scared into meltdown mode.  It’s the equivalent of a 2yo who burst into tears and cries for 30 minutes because she doesn’t how to tell you the big doggy barking at her scared her.[/quote]
