[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I would not have let him miss the bus.  Obviously, not your best parenting moment, but hang in there. Tomorrow is another day. When I make parenting mistakes, I own up to it with my kids at the end of the day, and they are forgiving. But, I do tell them *why* I was so upset, and they usually apologize if they did wrong, and own up to it.

I think you were in a tough spot. How do you make a child get on the bus if the child physically refuses to budge?   I have seen parents allow their kids to not take the bus, and instead the parent will drive them to school. IMO, that's just giving in to your kid's tantrum.[/quote]

+1 on this.  Apologize without any buts (no I am sorry, but...).  Just apologize.
But a kid getting a smack one time is not an abused child.  Just a kid being raised by an imperfect parent, like most of us.[/quote]

I will apologize to him after school. Obviously not my proudest moment.

He had a massive attitude during breakfast when I asked him a few questions about his test today. It was obvious he was unprepared. I got upset because I asked him if he had any exams this week and he said he had no homework yesterday. [/quote]
