[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]

OP-- they're kids and kids respond in different ways to being afraid.

Your five year old was may have been anxious/scared and acting inappropriately--or he probably had no idea what it means to faint and because you seem to be okay, no sense of the gravity of the situation.  Unless they're showing signs of having significant behavioral concerns, I would let it go.

It sounds like your eight year old thought you were kidding around--a minute or two isn't all that long. [/quote]
