[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, you are a terrible mother.  Imagine, he could have come home, told you all about what he did and saw, you could have asked questions, and really engaged and listened to him and had a real conversation.  You could have smiled, given him a little squeeze, told him you are glad he had a fun day.  When he told you about lunch, you could have rolled your eyes, told him he shouldn't have borrowed money for a souvenir if he spent all his money on lunch, and told him to plan a little better next time.

Instead you made your kid feel like crap and sucked the joy out of his day.  He is about to go to middle school.  I can just about guarantee that he will start to pull away from you and stop telling you things because he won't want to share anything with you because you will overreact to any minor infraction.  Next time he will know to just lie.

[b]My heart hurts for this little boy whose mom won't speak to him because he ate more lunch than he would have liked. [/quote][/b]

I agree.  I had that mom.  Like a previous poster, I do not have a relationship with her.  Haven't for 15 years.  Same with my siblings.  It's hard enough being a kid//teen.  And I'll bet it's hard as hell to live in your house.  My mom was and is a huge bitch.  The silent treatment was her weapon of choice.  My heart hurts for your kid, and for the kid I was.  Still to this day it makes me depressed to think about how all of the other kids who had moms who were generally nice, and how I had a mom who acted like she hated me.  [/quote]
